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.

What happens

A Slippery Day è un cortometraggio muto del 1910. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit del film. Una tempesta di neve ha colpito la città ma il vecchio Moneyton decide di andare comunque in ufficio. Lungo la strada, con i suoi scivoloni e le sue cadute, provoca caos e devastazione, coinvolgendo i passanti e tutto quello che gli viene a tiro. Alla fine, carponi, riesce a ritornare a casa da dove ritiene saggiamente che potrà comunque lavorare usando il telefono. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
