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

Aeroplane Flight and Wreck (Piloted by M. Cody) è un cortometraggio del 1910 prodotto dalla Biograph Company. Il signor Cody arriva in calesse, si dirige verso un fienile, apre le porte e tira fuori un grande biplano. Cody controlla il motore mentre un altro avvia l'elica. Quattro uomini spingono il biplano in posizione per il decollo. Cody prende posto indossando dei guanti. Inizia il lungo decollo mentre Cody guida l'aereo attraverso un campo erboso. Si solleva da terra per pochi metri d'altezza e poi ricade a terra. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
