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

One Touch of Nature è un cortometraggio muto del 1914 diretto da Ashley Miller. L'ispirazione per il soggetto (e il titolo) del film venne allo scrittore Courtney Ryley Cooper da un verso di William Shakespeare: "Un tocco di natura rende affine il mondo intero" ("One touch of nature makes the whole world kin", Troilo e Cressida, atto III, scena iii). Protagonisti del film sono John Sturgeon e il piccolo Andy Clark, al tempo tra i più attivi e prolifici attori del cinema muto americano. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
