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 is a very short silent film from 1896. It shows women doing laundry, which was a common daily scene at the time. The director filmed it as a straightforward record of real life.

What happens
Les blanchisseuses (em português: As Lavadeiras) é um curta-metragem francês de filme mudo e documentário de 1896, dirigido e produzido por Georges Méliès. Distribuído pela companhia de Méliès, a Star Film, o filme é registrado com o número 7 em seu catálogo. Pertence à fase inicial de actuality films — curtas de cenas cotidianas — que Méliès produziu nos primeiros meses de atividade cinematográfica, antes de sua transição para os efeitos especiais e os trick films pelos quais se tornaria famoso. Atualmente, o filme é considerado presumidamente desaparecido. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
