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
Based on a 19th century epic poem, this silent film shows the life of a Native American leader named Hiawatha. It stars actors from the Seneca and other tribes, making it the first feature length movie to do so. The story follows Hiawatha's experiences and relationships in his community.
