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

As a Boy Dreams è un cortometraggio muto del 1911 diretto da Thomas H. Ince e interpretato da Mary Pickford con il fratello Jack Pickford. Mary Pickford e il fratello Jack avevano già rispettivamente 18 e 14 anni, ma grazie al loro fisico minuto e al loro aspetto giovanile continueranno per molti anni ad interpretare con disinvoltura parti di bambini.
