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.

How it feels

This is a British film from the 1930s about a historical figure. It was made quickly on a tight budget as a so-called quota quickie.

What happens

Auld Lang Syne is a 1937 British historical drama film directed by James A. FitzPatrick and starring Andrew Cruickshank, Christine Adrian and Marian Spencer. It was written by W.K. WIlliamson, and was made as a quota quickie, produced at Shepperton Studios for distribution by MGM; quota costume films were rare, as the costs generally exceeded the limited budgets allowed for productions.
