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

The Adventures of Oktyabrina (Russian: Похождения Октябрины, romanized: Pokhozhdeniya Oktyabriny) is a 1924 Soviet/Russian silent film, an eccentric comedy, directed by Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg. This film is presumed lost, as it and many other early Russian films are believed to have been destroyed in a studio fire in 1925. FEKS (ФЭКС) stands for «Фабрика эксцентрического актёра», "Factory of the Eccentric Actor", and The Adventures of Oktyabrina was their first work. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
