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

An animated film about an entomologist who mistakes a common fly for a new species. He and his colleagues argue over who gets to name it, writing ever longer papers to prove each other wrong.

What happens

古博士的新发现是一部上海美术电影制片厂于1958年上映制作的彩色动画片作品。 昆虫学家古博士的儿子抓了一只苍蝇，被古博士发现了，但他不认识。他认为认为这是一个世界新物种，并且给它定名为“古普斯·杜勃斯·希里渥图斯”。古博认为凭借这项新发现将使他一举成名，于是他引经据典写起论文来。杜博士看到了古博士的新发现，他也不认识这只有两只大眼睛，六只脚，飞行时会发出嗡嗡声音的绿头虫子，于是他认为这个世界新物种应该叫“古克太·多克太·希里渥克太”，最后俩人为了命名权争执了起来。杜博士写了一篇20万字的论文来反驳古博士，古博士大怒，写了40万字的论文来批驳杜博士。最后一直吵到了昆虫学“权威”薛教授面前，薛教授也没见过苍蝇，他认为这个世界最新物种应该叫“古普太斯·多勃太斯·希里渥克太斯”，准备了了一百万字的科研论文来批驳二人。于是，三个昆虫学家为苍蝇的命名权大吵了起来........ 古博士的新发现 M1905 电影网 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
