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 Three Godfathers is a lost 1916 American silent film featuring Harry Carey, based on a short story of the same name by Peter B. Kyne. The film was remade in 1919 as Marked Men, which also starred Carey. John Ford's 1948 remake of Three Godfathers was dedicated to Harry Carey Sr., the star of the first adaptation.
