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

This lost 1909 film pretends to show the events of the Smithsonian-Roosevelt African Expedition. It was one of two rival productions trying to document the expedition.

What happens

Hunting Big Game in Africa, auch unter dem Titel Roosevelt in Africa, ist eine verschollene US-amerikanische Pseudo-Dokumentation des Regisseurs Francis Boggs aus dem Jahr 1909. Sie wurde von der Selig Polyscope Company produziert und vertrieben. Der Film gibt vor, die Ereignisse während der zu diesem Zeitpunkt gerade begonnenen Smithsonian-Roosevelt African Expedition darzustellen. Damit begab William N. Selig sich in direkte Konkurrenz zu dem Dokumentarfilm Roosevelt in Africa von Cherry Kearton, der erst 1910 in den Kinos erschien. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
