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

Faneurs est un film français réalisé par Louis Lumière, sorti en 1897. Cette vue photographique animée, ainsi que les frères Lumière nommaient leurs bobineaux de pellicule impressionnée, montre une équipe d’agriculteurs et agricultrices, disposée en front, retournant l’herbe fraîchement fauchée afin de la faire sécher en partie. L’opération, le fanage, produit le foin que l’on donne en nourriture aux bovins en stabulation. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
