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

Unwilling Scholars è un cortometraggio muto del 1912. Il nome del regista non viene riportato. Recitato da attori in carne e ossa, il film si ispira alle tavole del celebre fumetto disegnato da Rudolph Dirks. È il settimo di una serie di corti prodotti dalla Selig sui personaggi di Dirks.
