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

Piano Mooner è un cortometraggio statunitense del 1942, diretto da Harry Edwards, con Harry Langdon. Harry è un accordatore di pianoforti, e riesce a barattare un’accordatura presso un’agiata famiglia in cambio di un abito appropriato per il proprio matrimonio, che deve avvenire in giornata, secondo quanto minaccia il fratello di Mildred, la sua futura sposa. Anche nella famiglia presso la quale Harry accorda il piano una giovane deve sposarsi, e Mildred ed il fratello irrompono proprio mentre egli sta camminando verso l’altare con la ragazza, per mostrarle la maniera adeguata di incedere.
