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
The Threads of Fate (aka Threads of Fate) is a 1915 American silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse, written by Tom Forman, and featuring Pauline Bush, William C. Dowlan and Lon Chaney. The film is now considered to be a lost film. A still exists showing Lon Chaney made up as "The Count" trying to persuade the heroine of the film to marry him. The film's subtitles were all extractions from the literary works of famous authors, such as Tennyson, Milton and Pope. The film is framed by both a beginning and an ending sequence showing the three Fates weaving the threads of Mankind, these sequences being hand-colored (the rest of the film was in black-and-white).
