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 Heroine of '76 è un cortometraggio muto del 1911 diretto da Edwin S. Porter, Phillips Smalley e Lois Weber. Fu il primo film da registi per Smalley e Weber, che si erano sposati nel 1906 e che collaboreranno a lungo in futuro, dirigendo, interpretando e sceneggiando numerosi film. Porter, al contrario, era all'epoca uno dei registi con più esperienza, avendo esordito nel 1898. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
