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

What happens
The Frozen Policeman (French: L'Agent gelé) is a 1908 French short silent film by Georges Méliès. No Star Film Company catalogue number is known for it. The film is rare among Méliès's fiction films in using location shooting of real outdoor landscapes rather than painted scenery. Some of the Méliès family property in Montreuil-sous-Bois can be seen in it, including outside views of Méliès's parents' house and his first glass studio, Studio A. No English-language release is documented for the film, but the translated title The Frozen Policeman has been used in academic work. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
