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 Dancers is a 1930 American pre-Code melodrama, produced and distributed by Fox Film Corporation, and directed by Chandler Sprague. It is based on a 1923 West End play of the same title by Viola Tree and Gerald du Maurier. The film marks the feature sound film debut of actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell. The setting was shifted from the play's South America to Canada. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
