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

A Dangerous Age is a 1957 Canadian romantic crime drama film written, produced and directed by Sidney J. Furie, his feature directorial debut. It stars Ben Piazza, Anne Pearson, and Kate Reid (also in her feature debut). The film is about two young lovers (Piazza and Pearson) who want to get married but are thwarted at every turn, and decide to elope to the United States. The film was notable for being the first serious attempt by an English Canadian filmmaker to seriously market a feature film overseas since the silent era. The Canadian Encyclopedia described A Dangerous Age as "something of a landmark in English-Canadian feature production." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
