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.
How it feels
A bumbling man tries to go boating but gets into a series of clumsy mishaps on the water. The comedy comes from his pratfalls and awkward attempts to handle the boat.

What happens
Les Débuts d'un canotier è un cortometraggio muto del 1907 diretto da Henri Gambart. Interpretato dal comico André Deed (conosciuto in Italia come Cretinetti), il film dovrebbe essere l'esordio come regista cinematografico per Gambart, autore teatrale di farse e commedie che, negli anni dieci, avrebbe poi diretto numerosi film alla Pathé.
