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

A Film Johnnie is a 1914 American short silent film starring Charlie Chaplin, Roscoe Arbuckle, and Mabel Normand, and directed by George Nichols. Chaplin made the film during his time at Keystone Studios, working with producer Mack Sennett, who also appears in the film. The title comes from British slang for a "young fellow."
