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

The Dancer and the King: A Romantic Story of Spain (o The Dancer and the King) è un cortometraggio muto del 1908 diretto da James Stuart Blackton. La sceneggiatura si deve al reverendo Madison C. Peters, un religioso che, tra il 1908 e il 1909, scrisse per la Vitagraph quattro sceneggiature di carattere biblico. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
