The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 young man forgets his house key and goes to his club to get a copy from the janitor. When he returns home he cannot tell his house from the others on the street and keeps trying the key on the wrong doors, getting thrown out each time.

What happens

The Pass Key è un cortometraggio muto del 1909. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit del film. Un giovanotto si reca al club dove però si rende conto di aver dimenticato la chiave di casa. Chiede allora al custode di procurargliela. Quando è il momento di rientrare, però non riconosce la sua casa dato che gli edifici gli sembrano tutti uguali. Prova la chiave, ma non fa altro che entrare in casa di altri dove, il più delle volte, viene buttato fuori senza tanti riguardi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
