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.
How it feels
A New Zealand filmmaker in New York City makes a romantic movie where real people on the street create the script. He and an actress then perform the love story that the public invents.

What happens
Love Story is a 2011 New Zealand film directed by and starring Florian Habicht. Set in New York City, the film combines real-life scenes where members of the public dictate the love story with those of Florian (as himself) and Masha Yakovenko as they act it out. The film's world premier was held at the opening night of the New Zealand International Film Festival 2011. Love Story has screened in numerous international film festivals, and won the Audience Choice Award at the Pluk de Nacht Outdoor film festival in Amsterdam 2013. Jarvis Cocker of Pulp saw the film during the London International Film Festival, and invited Habicht to make a film about his group. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
