The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 very short silent film from 1895 shows the Skladanowsky brothers standing on a stage and bowing to an audience. It was one of the first films shown using a Bioscope projection device.

What happens

Apotheose je německý krátký film z roku 1895. Režisérem a producentem je Max Skladanowsky (1863–1939). Film byl natočen v roce 1895 a zobrazuje bratry Skladanowské, kteří vymysleli bioskop, jak stojí na jevišti a klaní se divákům. Film měl premiéru 1. listopadu 1895 spolu s dalšími krátkými filmy, které byly jako jedny z prvních promítány laternou magicou. Každý film trval přibližně šest sekund, a proto se opakovalo jejich promítání. V roce 1897 natočil režisér pokračování filmu Apotheose 2. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
