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

Mürebbiye, 1919 yapımı sessiz film. Filmde Fransa'da dostuyla kavga edip İstanbul'da, mürebbiye olarak girdiği Dehri Efendi'nin evinde Angel'in sebep olduğu olaylar anlatılmaktadır. Film, Türk sinemasında sansüre uğrayan ilk filmdir. Sansürün sebebi ise işgal altında olan İstanbul'daki işgal kuvvetlerinde görevli Fransız subayı General Franchet D’Esperey'in “Bir Fransız kızının, bu şekilde ahlaksızca gösterilemeyeceği, Anjel’in şahsında Fransızların küçük düşürüldüğü” gerekçesidir. Ancak film yasaklanmasına rağmen gizlice gösterime girer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
