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

Miss Sherlock Holmes è un cortometraggio muto del 1908 diretto da Edwin S. Porter. Jack e Jim lavorano nello stesso ufficio e, tutti e due, sono innamorati della stessa ragazza, Nell, la figlia del loro capo. Lei, che è innamorata di Jack, si accorge di alcuni strani traffici dell'altro suo spasimante, Jim. Per scoprire cosa combina quest'ultimo, si traveste da ragazzo e si fa assumere anche lei in ufficio: viene così a sapere che Jim perde del denaro speculando. Non solo, cerca di incastrare Jack, incolpando lui dei suoi maneggi. Il lavoro investigativo di Nell mette in chiaro la faccenda e Jack viene scagionato. Potrà così sposare la sua ragazza.
