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

No Resting Place is a 1951 British film directed by Paul Rotha and starring Michael Gough, Eithne Dunne and Noel Purcell. It was written by Colin Lesslie, Rotha, and Michael Orrom based on the 1948 novel of the same title by Ian Niall, and produced by Colin Lesslie Productions. It is noteworthy for its early use of location shooting and for bringing the acting style of Dublin's Abbey Theatre to the screen, as well as being the fiction feature debut of Rotha and cinematographer Wolfgang Suschitzky.
