The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Visit to the Manchester Ship Canal è un cortometraggio muto del 1903. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit del film né vi appare quello di un operatore. Aperto al traffico nel 1894 e inaugurato il 21 maggio di quell'anno dalla regina Vittoria, il Manchester Ship Canal è una via d'acqua lunga 58 km nel nord-ovest dell'Inghilterra. Inizia dall'estuario del fiume Mersey vicino a Liverpool e ne segue il percorso insieme a quello dell'Irwell, attraversando le contee del Cheshire e del Lancashire. Grazie a un sistema di chiuse, permette di arrivare fino a Manchester. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
