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

Yes or No? is a 1920 American silent drama film directed by Roy William Neill and starring Norma Talmadge in a dual role. It is based on the 1917 Broadway play Yes or No by Arthur Goodrich. Talmadge and Joe Schenck produced the picture and released it through First National Exhibitors. It is preserved at the Library of Congress Packard Campus for Audio-Visual Conservation. Despite the title as displayed on the film's theatrical poster including a question mark, the film is very often referred to as Yes or No. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
