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

The Usurer è un cortometraggio muto del 1910 diretto da David W. Griffith per la Biograph Company. Di genere drammatico, il film ha come protagonista un usuraio e l'ambiente in cui si muove. Griffith impiega molti dei suoi attori preferiti di quel periodo: vi appaiono Linda Arvidson (moglie di Griffith), George Nichols (nei panni del protagonista), Jeanie Macpherson, che tre anni dopo inizierà con successo una carriera di sceneggiatrice e la giovane Mary Pickford in quello di una ragazzina invalida.
