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
Two men shake hands in front of a camera. The short film was an experiment recorded in 1892.

What happens
A Hand Shake ist ein US-amerikanischer Kurzfilm aus dem Jahr 1892 mit William K. L. Dickson und William Heise. Der dreisekündige Film war als reines Experiment gedacht und wurde deshalb lediglich in der Zeitschrift The Phonogram bekanntgemacht. Der Film ist einer der wenigen, der in den Black-Maria-Studios im 35-mm-Format gedreht wurde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
