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

The Veiled Woman is a 1929 American Synchronized sound drama film directed by Emmett J. Flynn and starring Lia TorĂ¡, Lupita Tovar, and Walter McGrail, also featuring Bela Lugosi. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-film Movietone process. This film was initially advertised as being an All-Talking sound film, but at the last minute, the producer decided to film it as a synchronized sound film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
