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

Outrage is a 1950 black-and-white crime-drama film directed by Ida Lupino, who also cowrote the script along with the producers Malvin Wald and Collier Young. It stars Mala Powers in her first leading role. Outrage is the third film produced by Lupino and Young's independent The Filmakers Inc. Initially receiving mixed reviews, it has been critically reevaluated over the years. In 2020, Outrage was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally historically or aesthetically significant". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
