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

The Prince of Wales and the New Electric Tramway è un cortometraggio muto del 1903. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit del film né vi appare quello di un operatore. Dal 1899, il London County Council, il principale organo di governo locale della contea di Londra, acquisì e gestì i tram in tutta la contea, provvedendo alla loro elettrificazione a partire dal 1903.
