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 Slipper Episode (French: Le voyage imprévu) is a 1935 French-Swiss romantic comedy film directed by Jean de Limur and starring Betty Stockfeld, Roger Tréville and Claude Dauphin. It was based on a 1928 novel by Tristan Bernard. It was shot at the Cité Elgé in Paris and on location around Locarno and the Canton of Bern in Switzerland. The film's sets were designed by the art director Serge Piménoff. A British version Runaway Ladies was released in 1938. The Slipper Episode was partially censored in New York state, despite being similar in content to several Hollywood films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
