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

Die Flucht und Verfolgung des Raubmörders Rudolf Hennig über die Dächer von Berlin ist ein deutscher Aktualitätenfilm aus dem Jahr 1905 mit einer Gesamtlänge von etwa 120 Metern. Er ist filmhistorisch vor allem deshalb von Bedeutung, weil er dazu führte, dass im Mai 1906 in Deutschland die Film-Vorzensur eingeführt wurde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
