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 comedy about a man who might be the evolutionary link between humans and apes. The story follows his misadventures as he gets into various slapstick situations.

What happens
The Missing Link is a 1927 American synchronized sound comedy film directed by Charles Reisner and starring Syd Chaplin, Ruth Hiatt and Tom McGuire. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the Vitaphone sound-on-disc process. The title of the film is a reference to the idea of the "missing link" that connects man and the ape. A print exists at the Gosfilmofond film archive. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
