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

The Tramp's Unexpected Skate è un cortometraggio muto del 1901 diretto da Edwin S. Porter. Ennesima variazione sul tema dei "ragazzini dispettosi", che tanta fortuna ebbe nel cinema fin dalle origini. Come nel caso di Love in a Hammock (1901) di James H. White, sempre prodotto dalla Edison Manufacturing Company, i due attori bambini non sono accreditati, né si conosce la loro identità. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
