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

What happens
Boys Diving, Honolulu è un cortometraggio muto del 1901, diretto da Robert Kates Bonine. Brevi filmati che ritraevano gruppi di bambini furono da subito molto popolari. Questo si distingue per il contesto geografico particolare, la qualità tecnica delle riprese e l'accurata struttura artistica della composizione. I bambini (i cui nomi non sono accreditati) interpretano se stessi con estrema naturalezza. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
