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

Red Pearls is a 1930 British silent crime film directed by Walter Forde and starring Lillian Rich, Frank Perfitt and Arthur Pusey. It was written by Harry Fowler Mear and Sidney Gilliat based on the novel Nearer! Nearer! by J. Randolph James, and made at the Nettlefold Studios in Walton. The film was produced just as the change to sound films was taking place in Britain. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
