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
Slavoj Žižek uses examples from movies to explain how ideology shapes what people believe and how they behave. He draws on psychoanalysis to break down popular films like Full Metal Jacket and Taxi Driver.

What happens
The Pervert's Guide to Ideology is a 2012 British documentary film directed by Sophie Fiennes and written and presented by Slovenian philosopher and psychoanalytic theorist Slavoj Žižek. It is a sequel to Fiennes's 2006 documentary The Pervert's Guide to Cinema. Though the film follows the frameworks of its predecessor, this film's emphasis is on ideology itself. Through psychoanalysis Žižek explores "the mechanisms that shape what we believe and how we behave." Among the films explored are Full Metal Jacket and Taxi Driver. The film was released in the United States by Zeitgeist Films in November 2013. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
