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

Scène d'escamotage je francouzský němý film z roku 1898. Režisérkou je Alice Guy (1873–1968), která se pravděpodobně inspirovala snímkem Escamotage d'une dame chez Robert-Houdin režírovaný Georgem Mélièsem. Ve filmu hraje stejný muž, který si ve filmu Chez le magnétiseur zahrál hypnotizéra. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
