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.

How it feels

This is a very short documentary from 1902. It shows the landscape of Granite Canyon in the Rocky Mountains, following the Colorado Midland road. The film captures the narrow passage carved by the Platte River and the difficulties of building a road through the canyon.

What happens

Panoramic View of Granite Canyon est un très court film documentaire américain réalisé par Harry Buckwalter et sorti en 1902. Produit par la Selig Polyscope Company, le film montre, en suivant la Colorado Midland road, les paysages de la partie la plus spectaculaire du Granite Canyon, situé dans les montagnes Rocheuses, à quarante miles à l'ouest de Colorado Springs. À cet endroit, la rivière Platte a creusé un passage étroit à travers les murs de granit massifs, et le film permet de se rendre compte des difficultés techniques rencontrées pour la construction d'une route à travers un étroit canyon.
