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

Mene Tekel è un cortometraggio muto del 1913 diretto da Joseph Delmont. Si hanno pochi dati sul film che venne prodotto a Berlino da Franz Vogel. Il titolo fa riferimento alle parole di una scritta apparsa su un muro alla corte di Nabucodonosor che venne interpretata dal profeta Daniele come l'imminente caduta di quel monarca corrotto.
