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 Russian drama follows a story set in a remote Siberian village. It was left incomplete after the lead actress died in a car crash, with missing scenes replaced by voiceover.

What happens
«Река» — седьмой полнометражный фильм режиссёра Алексея Балабанова, снятый по произведению Вацлава Серошевского «Предел скорби». После того, как в автокатастрофе 21 ноября 2000 года погибла Туйара Свинобоева (актриса, игравшая главную героиню), съёмки были прекращены. В 2002 году отснятый материал был смонтирован. Пропущенные эпизоды заменены закадровым текстом. Премьера усечённого варианта «Реки» состоялась на фестивале «Белые Столбы». (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
