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

The Kid Reporter è un cortometraggio muto del 1923 scritto e diretto da Alfred J. Goulding. L'editore di un giornale, un uomo molto indaffarato, ha come "segretario" la piccola Baby Peggy. Quando una preziosa collana viene rubata, il manager promette che il giornalista che risolverà il caso avrà la promozione a redattore capo. Baby Peggy coglie l'occasione al volo e si mette sulle tracce dei ladri, usando trucchi e travestimenti, aiutata con riluttanza dal ragazzo dell'ufficio. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
