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

La Vie de Jeanne d'Arc (titre original : La vita di Giovanna d'Arco) est un film italien réalisé par Mario Caserini, sorti en 1909. Ce film muet en noir et blanc est le premier film italien consacré à l'une des personnalités de la Guerre de Cent Ans, Jeanne d'Arc. Le film s'inspire également de la tragédie romantique La Pucelle d'Orléans, une pièce de théâtre de Friedrich Schiller représentée pour la première fois en 1801. Le court métrage sera projeté peu de temps après la béatification de Jeanne d'Arc le 18 avril 1909. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
