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
Two climbers try to climb a very difficult rock face using only their hands and feet. The film follows their years of planning and the physical challenges they face.

What happens
The Dawn Wall is a 2017 American-Austrian documentary film directed by Josh Lowell and Peter Mortimer about Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson's successful attempt to create the first-ever big wall free climbing route—which they christened The Dawn Wall—on the historic southeast face (The Wall of Early Morning Light) of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, which had hitherto only been ascended by aid climbing techniques first pioneered by Warren Harding who made the first aided ascent of the face in 1970.
