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

Tall Timber is a 1926 Australian silent film about a rich man who flees the city and works in a timber mill. It is considered a lost film. In 1937, Cinesound Productions, the company that followed Australasian Films under the Greater Union banner, made a feature film partly set against the timber industry called Tall Timbers. It was directed by Ken G. Hall and had no connection to the 1926 Tall Timber. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
