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 Eternal Sapho (also known as A Modern Sapho and The Eternal Sappho) is a 1916 American silent drama film directed by Bertram Bracken and starring Theda Bara. The film was loosely based on the 1884 French novel Sappho by Alphonse Daudet. The film is now considered lost. The Eternal Sapho was produced by Fox Film Corporation and shot at the Fox Studio in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Some filming took place at the Marble House, a mansion located on a hill above 215th Street in New York. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
