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.

What happens

O Jardineiro Queimando as Ervas (em francês: Jardinier brûlant des herbes, também conhecido como Le Brûleur d'herbes; em inglês: Gardener Burning Weeds) é um curta-metragem mudo de atualidades francês de 1896 dirigido por Georges Méliès. O título em português refere-se ao jardineiro como agente — aquele que ateia fogo nas ervas —, e não a alguém sendo queimado por plantas. Considerado um filme perdido, é o quarto filme de Méliès em seu catálogo da Star Film Company. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
