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
The Cameraman's Revenge (Russian: Месть кинематографического оператора, romanized: Mest' kinematograficheskogo operatora) is a 1912 Russian short film written and directed by Ladislas Starevich. It, along with other works by Starevich, stands out in the history of stop-motion animation for its use of actual dried insect specimens (beetles, grasshoppers, dragonflies, etc.) as articulated stop-motion puppets portraying all of the characters. The film is a humorous look at adultery, voyeurism, and revenge porn. A married man cheats on his wife with a nightclub's dancer. A cameraman is secretly filming their amorous encounter. During a date with his wife at a movie theater, the man discovers that his supposedly private moments are on display at the theater. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
