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

His Wedding Eve è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 scritto e diretto da Colin Campbell. Thomas Ellis, il giorno delle nozze, è preda di dubbi: nervosamente, si aggira per le strade della città benché manchino solo due ore alla cerimonia. Incontra una bambinaia che ha un incidente e che si storce la caviglia. Lui cerca di prendersi cura della bambina e chiama l'ambulanza. Ma il suo comportamento suscita dei sospetti e Tom viene portato alla stazione di polizia. Quando la situazione viene chiarita, Tom decide di affrontare le proprie responsabilità e corre in chiesa, arrivando giusto in tempo per non far cadere nella disperazione la promessa sposa.
