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

Forcing the Force è un cortometraggio muto del 1914 diretto, interpretato e prodotto da Pat Hartigan. Due belle ragazze si trovano nei guai perché non hanno i soldi per pagare l'affitto dell'appartamento che condividono. Dopo aver letto un annuncio, si precipitano alla stazione di polizia dove si sta assumendo personale femminile. Le due ragazze trovano così un lavoro: ormai in uniforme, ritornano a casa, suscitando l'interesse di ogni maschio che incontrano. Per levarsi di torno gli ammiratori, le due affidano a ognuno di loro un compito: uno deve curare il giardino, l'altro dipingere l'appartamento, un altro ancora falciare il prato e così via. Andrà a finire tutto in un allegro pandemonio. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
