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

Le Baiser dans un tunnel () est un film anglais réalisé par James Bamforth, sorti en 1899. Extérieur d'un tunnel, vu du remblai. Un train à vapeur entre dans le tunnel. Dans un compartiment populaire, un jeune homme allume une cigarette qu'il dépose ensuite au bord de la fenêtre et va s'asseoir sans façon sur la banquette en face, près de sa voisine qui laisse faire. Spontanément, les deux jeunes gens s'enlacent et se bécotent, puis concluent par un baiser sur la bouche. Ils se câlinent alors mutuellement, comme des enfants. Arrivant de loin dans la profondeur de champ, le train s'approche d'une gare qu'il traverse. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
