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 animated short film imagines a possible story of how life first began on Earth. It follows organic compounds and early cells as they develop into more complex forms, with a playful and accessible tone.

What happens
Enter Life is an 8-minute animated film from 1982 about the earliest origin of life (or abiogensis) on Earth. Directed by Faith Hubley of Hubley Studios, the film traces a possible course of development (according to contemporary theory) of organic compounds, amino acids and early cellular organisms. Featuring anthropomorphic amino acids and cells as well as a light-hearted touch, with music by Elizabeth Swados, the film has shown considerable durability, still being shown on continuous loop at the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution, which sponsored the original production.
