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.
How it feels
A silent drama set in a poor community. A man tries to tell a clear story without using any title cards.

What happens
Lily of the Alley is a lost 1924 British silent film drama directed, written and produced by Henry Edwards, who also starred in the film with his wife Chrissie White. The film was experimental in form, with Edwards attempting the innovation of producing a coherent screen narrative entirely without the use of intertitles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
