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
Arabian Jewish Dance è un cortometraggio muto del 1903 prodotto dalla Edison Manufacturing Company. Gli ebrei appaiono per la prima volta nel cinema americano in due brevi filmati etnografici girati nel 1903 in Medio Oriente dalla Edison Manufacturing Company. Entrambi documentano delle danze ebraiche, riprese rispettivamente a Beirut (Arabian Jewish Dance) e a Gerusalemme (A Jewish Dance in Jerusalem). Le riprese furono effettuate agli inizi del 1903 nel corso della crociera invernale della S.S. "Auguste Victoria" della Hamburg-American Line, partita da New York il 3 febbraio 1903.
