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
Children Who Labor è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Ashley Miller (non accreditato) e interpretato da Mary Fuller. Al pari del contemporaneo The Cry of the Children, il film è una ferma ed esplicita denuncia del lavoro minorile negli Stati Uniti agli inizi del Novecento. È il secondo film per la quindicenne Viola Dana, nel ruolo della figlia dell'operaio. In quello della figlia del proprietario, appare Shirley Mason, vera sorella di Viola Dana.
