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

Train in Royal Gorge est un très court film documentaire américain réalisé par Harry Buckwalter et sorti en 1902. Produit par la Selig Polyscope Company, le film montre le passage d'un train, à travers les paysages somptueux des montagnes Rocheuses, sur le tronçon entre Pueblo et Leadville de la Royal Gorge Route Railroad (en), une ligne de la Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, dans la Royal Gorge, un canyon de la rivière Arkansas situé à l'ouest de Cañon City, dans le comté de Fremont dans l’État du Colorado. Le film illustre parfaitement le mouvement, avec les deux locomotives et les quatorze wagons surgissant après la courbe du pont suspendu Royal Gorge Bridge, et permet de distinguer les passagers et les porteurs en blouse blanche aux fenêtres et sur les plates-formes.
