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 Dog of Flanders è un cortometraggio muto del 1914 diretto da Howell Hansel. È il primo adattamento cinematografico del racconto Il cane delle Fiandre, pubblicato nel 1872 dalla scrittrice inglese Ouida. Secondo le accettate convenzioni teatrali del tempo, il ruolo del ragazzo protagonista fu affidato ad un'affermata attrice, Marguerite Snow. Come diverrà comune in quasi tutti gli adattamenti cinematografici del racconto, al film viene dato un lieto fine, laddove la storia originaria si concludeva con la morte del ragazzo e del cane.
