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
A film crew shoots a scene about witches being burned at the stake. The movie uses split screens and heavy strobe lights to create a disorienting experience.

What happens
Lux Æterna (stylized as LVX ÆTERNA) is a 2019 French independent experimental meta-art film written, produced and directed by Gaspar Noé. The piece heavily employs epileptic imagery through grey and color strobes, split-screen, and uses of 1920s-esque documentary footage involving witchcraft and torture. It was screened out of competition at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. The film received mixed to positive reviews from critics. It also garnered attention for a scene featuring strobing lights that lasts more than 10 minutes. When the film premiered at Cannes, paramedics were waiting outside in case of audience members becoming sick. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
