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

What happens
One Dollar's Worth è un cortometraggio muto del 1917 diretto da David Smith. La sceneggiatura di Harry Southwell si basa su un racconto del famoso scrittore statunitense O. Henry che fornì in quegli anni alla Vitagraph lo spunto per una lunga serie di film tratti dalle sue opere. Tra gli attori compare il nome di Jack P. Pierce che in seguito sarebbe diventato uno dei più celebri truccatori di Hollywood: lavorando per l'Universal, avrebbe creato la mummia, l'uomo lupo, la creatura di Frankenstein e molti altri mostri dello schermo.
