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 early silent short film from 1896. It shows a man who does something unusual involving eggs, though the exact trick is not fully clear from today's records.

What happens
The Egg-Laying Man è un cortometraggio muto del 1896 diretto da Cecil M. Hepworth, qui al suo esordio nella regia. Hepworth, dopo aver fondato due anni più tardi una propria casa di produzione, avrebbe girato, sempre con lo stesso soggetto e interpretato da lui stesso, un altro The Egg-Laying Man nel 1900.
