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
Mediastan - A WikiLeaks Road Movie is a 2013 documentary film about a group of WikiLeaks staff travelling through Central Asia finding local partners to publish sensitive material about the local area from the 2010 United States diplomatic cables leak. It was directed by Johannes Wahlström and produced by Julian Assange, Rebecca O'Brien, Lauren Dark and Ken Loach's company Sixteen Films. Its release was timed to challenge that of The Fifth Estate, a film dramatisation about WikiLeaks which Assange has described as a "propaganda attack" against the organisation. The film debuted at the Raindance Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
