The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Stramilano is a 1929 short film directed by Corrado D'Errico and produced by the company of the Za Bum music hall of Teatro Excelsior by Mario Mattoli and Luciano Ramo for Istituto Luce, a fascist government created organisation. The film marked Italy's first contribution to the city symphonies cycle and was the earliest example of such a film to emerge from a fascist nation. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
