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

Scrooge è un cortometraggio muto del 1922, diretto da George Wynn. Basato sul romanzo Canto di Natale di Charles Dickens, è uno dei tre cortometraggio prodotti in Inghilterra sul soggetto negli anni venti. Il film è parte di una serie di 12 pellicole, intitolata Tense Moments with Great Authors, dedicata ad adattamenti da celebri opere letterarie. Protagonista è l'attore inglese Henry V. Esmond nel ruolo di Ebenezer Scrooge. Considerato a lungo perduto, il film è stato riscoperto nel 1992 nei depositi della Library of Congress a Washington, sia pure in una versione ridotta per il pubblico americano.
