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

Up the Drackenfels by Cogwheel Railway è un cortometraggio muto del 1903. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit del film né vi appare quello di un operatore. La collina di Drachenfels, una delle Siebengebirge, è alta 321 metri e si trova tra Königswinter e Bad Honnef, nella Renania Settentrionale-Vestfalia. In cima vi si trovano le rovine del castello, distrutto nel 1634 durante la Guerra dei trent'anni. Meta turistica legata al romanticismo tedesco, dal 1883 è accessibile grazie alla Drachenfelsbahn, una linea tramviaria inaugurata nel luglio di quell'anno. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
