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

What happens
Karakoram est un film documentaire français réalisé par Marcel Ichac en 1936, sorti en 1937. Réalisé dans le cadre des grandes expéditions en Himalaya dans les années 1930, on y voit en particulier le retour sur le glacier du Baltoro de 700 porteurs, la plupart aveuglés par l'ophtalmie des neiges. Le film est l'un des tout premiers à utiliser la musique électronique avec les Ondes Martenot, musique du compositeur Vellones. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
