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.

How it feels

A new unmarried pastor comes to a small village. When a woman notices his worn-out slippers, she makes him a new pair. All the other single women copy her idea and make slippers too, but the pastor's sister trades them with a peddler, so only the first pair gets used.

What happens

A Shower of Slippers è un cortometraggio muto del 1913 diretto da Charles M. Seay. Al villaggio arriva un nuovo pastore. L'uomo, che non è sposato, invita gli abitanti a una festa a casa sua organizzata insieme alla sorella. Mary, una delle parrocchiane, nota un paio di pantofole vecchie ed usurate e decide di donarne al pastore un paio fatte da lei, Tutte le nubili del villaggio copiano la sua idea ma le nuove pantofole vengono usate dalla sorella del pastore per uno scambio con un venditore ambulante. Le uniche pantofole che il ministro userà, di conseguenza, sarà quello di Mary. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
