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.

A silent film set in a bygone era. It involves themes of romance and inheritance. The story unfolds with a symbolic tower and rose.

What happens

La rosa e la torre (erroneamente talvolta chiamato La rosa e il corvo) è un film muto del 1913 diretto da J. Farrell MacDonald. Fu distribuito in Italia negli anni Venti e, vista la scarsa durata della pellicola (meno di 50 minuti), veniva solitamente proiettata in coppia con altri film. Il titolo fu modificato per facilitarne la distribuzione. C'è un cameo del grande regista William Worthington e del famoso attore di Broadway George Periolat. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
