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

Silent Heroes è un cortometraggio muto del 1913 diretto da Jay Hunt. Tom, rimasto a casa con la madre morente, è ritenuto da tutti un codardo perché non è partito per la guerra. Quando la madre viene a mancare, però, Tom guida i suoi servitori alla battaglia e riporta la vittoria a costo della propria vita, cancellando così da sé ogni sospetto ingiurioso verso il suo coraggio.Da Moving Picture World, 27 settembre 1913 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
