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

Two strangers sit at opposite sides of a revolving table in a restaurant. One orders a meal and reads a newspaper while the other spins the table and eats the food.

What happens

The Revolving Table è un cortometraggio muto del 1903 diretto da Percy Stow. Al ristorante, due che non si conoscono si siedono ai lati opposti di un tavolo girevole. Uno dei due ordina il pranzo e si mette a leggere il giornale. L'altro, quando arriva il pranzo ordinato, gira la tavola e si mette a mangiare le varie portate. Il primo cliente, dopo qualche tempo, credendo di non essere stato servito, comincia a protestare violentemente con i camerieri e con il proprietario del locale con gran divertimento del profittatore.
