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
Righteous Revenge (Korean: 의리적 구토 or 의리적 구투), sometimes Loyal Revenge or Screaming for Vengeance, was a Korean kino-drama (a stageplay with a film backdrop). It was directed by Kim Do-san and premiered on October 27, 1919, at the historic movie theater Dansungsa. It is widely considered the first ever Korean movie, including by the South Korean government, although this label is disputed. The film and its script are now considered lost. The anniversary of its premiere date is now considered Korean Film Day. Just before the premiere of the film, the companion documentary film (used for backdrops in the movie) Panoramic View of the Whole City of Gyeongseong was debuted. This film is sometimes considered the first, although it did not have actors or a plot. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
