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

L'agent plongeur è un cortometraggio muto del 1901 diretto da Ferdinand Zecca. Un pescatore ha catturato un pesce talmente grosso, che lo trascina sul fondo dell'acqua. Arriva un poliziotto, velocemente salta in acqua e tira fuori il pescatore. Una volta tirato fuori dall'acqua, preme sul ventre, per far emergere tutta l'acqua che lo sfortunato ha ingerito.
