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

Cavalry Horses Fording a Stream in Santiago de Cuba è un cortometraggio muto del 1898. Durante la spedizione su Santiago, i cavalieri devono attraversare un corso d'acqua: i cavalli scendono nel fiume e sembrano scomparire nell'acqua. A galla resta solo la testa dell'animale e il suo cavaliere. Quando la traversata è finita, i cavalli riemergono sull'altra sponda del fiume. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
