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.

How it feels

A short silent film from 1912 about a husband giving a gift to his wife. The film was made by the Hepworth company in England and no longer exists because the producer melted it down for silver.

What happens

A Present for Her Husband è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Lewin Fitzhamon. Non si conoscono altri dati del film che, prodotto dalla Hepworth, fu distrutto nel 1924 dallo stesso produttore. Cecil M. Hepworth, in gravi difficoltà finanziarie, giunse a tanto per poter recuperare il nitrato d'argento della pellicola. Nel 1912, la Hepworth produsse un altro A Present for Her Husband, diretto da Frank Wilson. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
