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

Le Friquet è un cortometraggio muto del 1914 diretto da Maurice Tourneur. La sceneggiatura si basa sulla commedia di Willy che, a sua volta, trae spunto dal romanzo omonimo di Gyp. Le Friquet di Willy (pseudonimo di Henry Gauthier-Villars) debuttò a Parigi al Théâtre du Gymnase il 30 settembre 1904. Il film avrà un rifacimento nel 1919 diretto da Gero Zambuto: Friquet avrà come interprete principale Leda Gys. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
