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

Les orphelins è un cortometraggio muto del 1908 diretto da Victorin-Hippolyte Jasset. È il primo film per le due protagoniste, Eugénie Nau e Maria Fromet. Una delle prime e più prolifiche attrici bambine del cinema muto, Maria Fromet girerà un centinaio di pellicole per affermarsi quindi da adulta come attrice teatrale, tornando con minore frequenza a recitare anche per il cinema.
