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

Panorama of Ealing from a Moving Tram (pl. Panorama Ealing z jadącego tramwaju) – film niemy, nakręcony w Ealing w środę 10 lipca 1901 roku z okna elektrycznego tramwaju. Jest jednym z czterech filmów nakręconych tego dnia z inicjatywy Cliftona Robinsona z London United Tramways i dokumentujących otwarcie pierwszej sieci tramwajowej w Londynie (pozostałe filmy to: Distinguished Guests Leaving the Power House, The First Trams Leaving Sheperd's Bush for Southall oraz Panorama at Ealing Showing Lord Rothschild Declaring Line Open). Film ma ok. 80 sekund. Został wyprodukowany przez Biograph Company. Kopia zachowała się do dziś w stosunkowo dobrym stanie (prawdopodobnie dlatego, że miała znaczenie głównie lokalne i nie była tak bardzo eksploatowana). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
