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
A New Trick is a silent American crime comedy film directed and written by D. W. Griffith, released in 1909. A production of Biograph Company, the short film was distributed as a split reel with The Lonely Villa. Shot in Edgewater, New Jersey, the film starred Marion Leonard, Mack Sennett, Herbert Prior, and Arthur V. Johnson. A 1909 article in The Monroe News-Star called A New Trick "one of the cleverest bits of comedy Biograph has yet turned out", describing it as "short and snappy". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
