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
A young Dutch man returns to his childhood home after the war and reconnects with a woman from his past. Their relationship unfolds in the countryside as he deals with memories and the aftermath of the conflict.

What happens
Kort Amerikaans is een Nederlandse speelfilm uit 1979 van Guido Pieters met in de hoofdrollen Derek de Lint en Tingue Dongelmans. Het scenario van de film is gebaseerd op de roman Kort Amerikaans van Jan Wolkers uit 1962. De pers reageerde overwegend negatief op de film en ook het bioscooppubliek kwam niet zo massaal opdagen als bij de andere Wolkersverfilming Turks Fruit uit 1973. Desondanks kwamen er nog 372.577 bezoekers naar de bioscoop. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
