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 silent documentary follows the 74 year old Thomas Edison as he works with his staff and talks to business leaders. The film spends most of its time showing Edison's visit to a light bulb factory and how the bulbs are made.
