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

Follow the Crowd is a 1918 American short comedy film with Harold Lloyd. Previously thought to be a lost film, the SilentEra website says now that a "print exists". A truncated version (of slightly less than seven minutes), with both English and Spanish intertitles, was posted on YouTube in 2016. The film's plot has Harold accidentally getting involved with a terrorist group. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
