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
A Painter (Danish: En maler) is a 2013 Danish short film written and directed by Hlynur Pálmason, starring Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson and Elliott Crosset Hove. The film follows a famous yet solitary painter whose peace and quiet is disrupted by the sudden arrival of his son and other outsiders. A Painter was written and filmed in Skagen, the northernmost town of Denmark, and won the award for the Best Danish Short Film at the Odense Film Festival. The film was made as Pálmason's graduation short from the Danish National Film School, marking his first collaboration with the actor Sigurðsson who has also acted in Pálmason's later films, including A White, White Day (2019) and Godland (2022).
