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

Alf's Button is a 1930 British comedy film directed by W. P. Kellino and starring Tubby Edlin, Alf Goddard and Nora Swinburne. It was written by L'Estrange Fawcett based on the 1920 novel Alf's Button by William Aubrey Darlington, which had previously been filmed in 1920. The film features some singing and dancing sequences in an early colour process, which is believed to be Pathécolor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
