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 Drummer Girl of Vicksburg is a lost 1912 silent motion picture produced by Kalem Company of New York City and filmed in Jacksonville, Florida. With a storyline set in the 1860s, during the American Civil War, the military drama starred Miriam Cooper in the title role with a supporting cast that included Guy Coombs, Anna Q. Nilsson, and Hal Clements. No footage of The Drummer Girl of Vicksburg is listed among the holdings of major film repositories, studio archives, or known private collections in North America, Europe, or elsewhere in the world. This Kalem release is therefore presumed to be lost, although a few stills from the film survive in advertisements printed in 1912 trade publications. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
