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 1933 silent film from the Republic of China. It is the first movie by a new Cantonese production company. A famous male opera star who usually plays female roles appears as a handsome young man. The story is a modern love square that was considered daring.

What happens
裂痕（Argument）是廣州著名粵劇乾班男花旦謝醒儂在1932年與天津導演姜白谷、廣州越秀山永漢南路的南關戲院之經理薛兆榮、粵劇名宿白玉堂、撰曲家麥嘯霞等人，在廣州西關開設『華藝影片公司（Chinese Artistic Film Company）』，謝醒儂為 經理，拍攝的第一齣黑白默片。謝醒儂在粵劇舞臺上都是反串成婀娜多姿的女妝，風騷入骨，雌雄難辨，這齣電影是他的銀幕處男作，亦是他首次以自己本身的美少年形象展現給觀眾。四角戀愛的社會問題故事在21世紀的今天看來都屬前衛之作品。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
