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

Was He a German Spy? è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Hay Plumb. Si conoscono pochi dati del film che, prodotto dalla Hepworth, fu distrutto nel 1924 dallo stesso produttore, Cecil M. Hepworth. Fallito, in gravissime difficoltà finanziarie, il produttore pensò in questo modo di per poter almeno recuperare il nitrato d'argento della pellicola. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
