The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Down Upon the Suwanee River is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Lem F. Kennedy and starring Charles Emmett Mack, Mary Thurman, and Arthur Donaldson. The spelling of the film's title, which is from the first line of the Stephen Foster song "Old Folks at Home", varied with both Swanee and Suwannee used. In Britain it was released by Wardour Films.
