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 silent short comedy from 1904 about a Jewish character named Cohen who uses a scheme to make money. It is the first in a series featuring a broad, stereotyped portrayal of a clever trickster.

What happens
Cohen's Advertising Scheme è un cortometraggio muto del 1904 diretto da Edwin S. Porter. Primo episodio di una serie comica che ha per protagonista l'ebreo Cohen. Interpretato volta volta da attori diversi truccati nello stile grottesco dell'ebreo vaudevilliano con un gran nasone posticcio, Cohen rappresenta lo stereotipo dell'ebreo furbo e imbroglione, che riesce sempre a fare un lauto guadagno da ogni situazione—una caricatura familiare del teatro e della letteratura che ora si afferma anche al cinema.
