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

Monkeyshines, No. 3 é o terceiro e último filme da sequência experimental realizada por William K.L. Dickson e William Heise para o Edison Studios, de Thomas Edison, para testar o formato cilíndrico original do cinetoscópio. Este é um dos primeiros filmes da história e um dos primeiros a ser rodado nos Estados Unidos. Assim como os outros dois filmes da série, Monkeyshines, No. 3 mostra uma figura borrada na posição branca em algum lugar, fazendo grandes gestos, e possuem apenas alguns segundos de duração.
