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.

How it feels

This is a silent short film from 1912 about a mermaid. It was directed by Lewin Fitzhamon and produced by a British company. The film is now lost because the producer destroyed the original reels to recover silver from the film stock.

What happens

The Mermaid è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Lewin Fitzhamon. Prodotto dalla casa di produzione britannica Hepworth, è interpretato da Hay Plumb e da Chrissie White nel ruolo della "sirena". Si conoscono pochi dati del film che, prodotto dalla Hepworth, fu distrutto nel 1924 dallo stesso produttore. Cecil Hepworth, in gravi difficoltà finanziarie, giunse a tanto per poter recuperare il nitrato d'argento della pellicola. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
