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
Cohen's Fire Sale è un cortometraggio muto del 1907 diretto da Edwin S. Porter. Secondo episodio della serie comica che ha per protagonista il commerciante ebreo Cohen dopo Cohen's Advertising Scheme (1904). Truccato nello stile caricaturale dell'ebreo vaudevilliano con un gran nasone posticcio, Cohen rappresenta lo stereotipo del mercante ebreo furbo e imbroglione, che riesce sempre a fare un lauto guadagno da ogni situazione.
