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

Les Deux Gosses è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Adrien Caillard. Presentato originariamente in due parti distinte (La faute d'une mère, e Fanfan et Claudinet), il film è il secondo di una lunga serie di adattamenti cinematografico dell'omonimo romanzo di Pierre Decourcelle del 1880. Secondo un'accettata convenzione dell'epoca, i ruoli dei due ragazzi protagonisti (Fanfan e Cladinet) furono interpretati da due attrici bambine, le sorelle Madeleine Fromet e Maria Fromet.
