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

Jane Eyre è un cortometraggio muto del 1914 diretto da Frank Hall Crane dal romanzo omonimo di Charlotte Brontë. Nel luglio dello stesso anno, uscì un Jane Eyre diretto da Martin Faust, nel cui cast compaiono nei ruoli principali Alberta Roy e John Charles. Hall Crane aveva interpretato Lord Rochester nel primo adattamento cinematografico, un Jane Eyre del 1910 diretto da Theodore Marston. Terza versione del romanzo della Brontë, il film è interpretato da Ethel Grandin e da Irving Cummings nel ruolo di Rochester. Gli altri interpreti erano John McCabe, Miss Burke, Mrs. Hempstone, Lois Alexander, Marie Hazelton, Margery Wilson. Il film fu il debutto sullo schermo per la diciassettenne Margery Wilson che, in seguito, si specializzò in ruoli western, diventando anche produttrice e regista. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
