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

The Failure è un cortometraggio muto del 1911 diretto da D.W. Griffith. Un uomo perde tutto, lavoro e fidanzata, finendo con l'andare a ubriacarsi nei locali più sordidi. Lì conosce una compagna di sventura, una donna senza futuro come lui. Lei lo aiuta a riprendersi e, alla fine, l'uomo si rende conto di come la giovane sia un punto fermo cui aggrapparsi per salvarsi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
