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
The World According to Ion B. (Romanian: Lumea văzută de Ion B.) is a 2009 HBO Romania and Alexander Nanau Production documentary film. The film was written, produced, directed, and photographed by Alexander Nanau. The film depicts the dream of a man living on the streets: to one day become famous and leave behind a life of poverty, misery and humiliation.

It was the first Romanian film to win an American Academy Award when it won the International Emmy Award for Best Arts Programming in 2010. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
