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
This is a silent Indian mythological film from 1920. It adapts a story from the Mahabharata where humans and gods are in conflict. Special effects were a major selling point.

What happens
Nala and Damayanti est un film mythologique indien réalisé par Eugenio De Liguoro en 1920. Ce film à gros budget est l'adaptation cinématographique d'une pièce de théâtre basée sur un épisode du Mahabharata bien connu du public indien. L'histoire qui oppose les humains aux dieux est l'occasion de montrer des effets spéciaux spectaculaires, ce qui constitue un des principaux arguments publicitaires du film à sa sortie. Nala and Damayanti est le premier long-métrage du studio Madan Theatres de Calcutta, présentant Patience Cooper pour la première fois à l'écran. Elle deviendra une des toutes premières vedettes féminines du cinéma indien. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
