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

Slip-Powder รจ un cortometraggio muto del 1909. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit del film. Un ragazzino, figlio di un inventore, usa una polvere che gli ha dato suo padre per divertirsi alle spalle di tutti quelli che incontra. La polvere, infatti, si trasforma in un elemento scivoloso che permette al birichino di combinarne di cotte e di crude ai danni dei poveri passanti che ci camminano sopra. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
