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

Her Greatest Performance is a 1916 British silent crime film directed by Fred Paul and starring Edith Craig, Ellen Terry and Dennis Neilson-Terry. Gerald Lovelace (Dennis Neilson-Terry) is accused of a crime and wrongly arrested, his mother (Ellen Terry) gives 'her greatest performance' when providing him with an alibi. Joan Morgan plays his daughter. Presumably this is a lost film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
