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

Knight Duty è un cortometraggio statunitense del 1933, diretto da Arvid Gillstrom. Un preziosissimo rubino viene rubato dal museo delle cere, per cui il direttore e la figlia rischiano di trovarsi sul lastrico. Ma all’interno del museo rimane accidentalmente chiuso Harry, già conoscente della figlia del direttore. Sulle sue tracce c’è un poliziotto, che lo cerca e lo insegue per un evento trascorso, mentre anche la guardia del museo cerca di stanare Harry, che si confonde in mezzo alle statue di cera. Ma nel museo si nascondono anche i ladri del rubino, che, per sfuggire alla polizia, nascondono il gioiiello nelle tasche di Harry. Si sviluppa allora un inseguimento plurimo.
