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

Sally Sallies Forth is a 1928 silent British one-reeler black and white film, with a rare all female cast and crew. It was written and directed by Frances Lascot and filmed and edited by Ivy A. Low. It should not be confused with the 1933 British film of the same name. Usually described as "amateur" as neither the director nor actors were paid (despite claiming an "all-star cast") and it was never on general release, it is nevertheless an important milestone in female film-making.
