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

A Victim of Jealousy è un cortometraggio muto del 1910 diretto da David W. Griffith. L'irragionevole gelosia di un marito mette a dura prova il matrimonio della coppia: lui, geloso perfino del pastore che ha celebrato le nozze, litiga con la moglie che lo induce a promettere di giungere a più miti consigli. Ma l'uomo non ne è capace e, un giorno, quando la moglie ha appuntamento per provare un nuovo cappello, se la prede con modista e cappellaio, convinto di essere preso per il naso. Solo davanti alla minaccia di una separazione, l'uomo cede e promette di non comportarsi più da marito geloso. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
