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

At It Again is a 1912 American short silent comedy film produced and directed by Mack Sennett. The film stars Fred Mace, Mack Sennett, Ford Sterling, Mabel Normand and Alice Davenport. It was distributed by the Mutual Film Corporation. The film was the first Keystone Film comedy that featured the two bumbling detectives. The film was released on November 4, 1912; in a split reel with Mabel's Lovers. Silent Era reports the survival status of the film as unknown. It's notable that Sennett headed two of the most influential American slapstick film studios: the Keystone Film Company (1912–1917), and Mack Sennett Comedies (1917–1933). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
