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

Monte Cristo è un cortometraggio muto del 1911. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit del film. Il romanzo di Alexandre Dumas padre era già stato ridotto per lo schermo in una versione del 1908 per il film The Count of Monte Cristo prodotto dalla Selig Polyscope. A inizio carriera, Stuart Holmes e Pearl White girarono insieme numerosi film. Questa, per la coppia, è la sesta pellicola. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
