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

Resurrection is a 1918 American silent drama film directed by Edward José. The film stars Pauline Frederick, Robert Elliott, John St. Polis, and Jere Austin. The story was adapted for the screen by Charles E. Whittaker based on Leo Tolstoy's 1899 novel of the same name. The adaptation likely took inspiration from Henri Bataille's 1902 stage adaptation of the novel, which had been translated into English by Michael Morton and presented on the New York stage in 1903. The film was released on May 19, 1918, by Paramount Pictures. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
