The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Seven Swords (七劍) is a 2005 wuxia film produced and directed by Tsui Hark, starring Donnie Yen, Leon Lai, Charlie Yeung, Sun Honglei, Lu Yi and Kim So-yeon. An international co-production between Hong Kong, China, South Korea and the Netherlands, it served as the opening film to the 2005 Venice Film Festival and pays homage to Akira Kurosawa's 1954 film Seven Samurai. Loosely adapted from Liang Yusheng's wuxia novel Qijian Xia Tianshan, it follows the story of seven swordsmen, each wielding a special sword, protecting a village under attack by a ruthless warlord.
