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

4 Devils (also known as Four Devils) is a lost 1928 American synchronized sound drama film directed by German director F. W. Murnau and starring Janet Gaynor. While the 1928 version of the film had no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-film movietone process. The synchronized version had only a limited release. The film was withdrawn to add talking sequences and the final part-talkie version was released to theatres in June 1929. Both versions appear to be lost. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
