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
Italy in a Day - Un giorno da italiani is a 2014 Italian-British documentary film directed by Gabriele Salvatores. It was part of the Out of Competition section at the 71st Venice International Film Festival. Salvatores used the crowdsourced documentary Britain in a Day as a prototype to produce Italy in a Day, which included clips selected from 45,000 video submissions recorded on 26 October 2013. The film was said to reflect the fears of Italians during a recession, their uncertainty over their national identity, and their refusal to give up on dreams. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
