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

Carmen è un cortometraggio del 1907 diretto da Arthur Gilbert. Pur essendo muto, venne sonorizzato con il sistema Chronophone. Il film è il primo a trasporre sul grande schermo i personaggi dell'opera teatrale omonima. Nello stesso anno, in Francia uscì anche un altro Carmen, un cortometraggio prodotto dalla Pathé Frères e sonorizzato con il sistema Ciné-Phono. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
