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
This silent film shows a day in Lisbon in 1930, moving from the old neighborhoods around the castle down to the busy docks and the newer parts of town. It mixes real scenes with reenacted moments of daily life in the port city.
