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

Panoramic View of Hell Gate est un très court film documentaire américain réalisé par Harry Buckwalter et sorti en 1902. Produit par la Selig Polyscope Company, le film montre un panorama des paysages escarpés traversés par une ligne de chemin de fer dont la construction à la fin du XIXe siècle fut un véritable exploit technique, entre Fryingpan River (en) et le col de Hagerman (en), qui traverse la chaîne Sawatch, à 3 635 mètres d'altitude, sur la ligne de partage des eaux, avec en toile de fond les sommets enneigés des montagnes Rocheuses du Colorado central, à l'ouest de Leadville, à la limite des comtés de Lake et de Pitkin.
