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

The Heart of Lincoln is the name of both a 1915 and 1922 silent film directed, produced by and starring Francis Ford and featuring Grace Cunard. The film was released by Universal Film Manufacturing Company on February 9, 1915. Ford later remade the film, completely re-shooting it and adding a prologue; it was released November 1, 1922. The 1922 version was a lost film until a 16mm print was found at a film archive on Long Island in 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
