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
Drift is a 2013 Belgium art house film about a couple that waits in an empty hotel in the Romanian Carpathian mountains. The modern ruins of post-communist Romania form the backdrop for a man's quest for redemption and, possibly, punishment following his wife's death after a long illness. It is directed by Benny Vandendriessche, with the storyline conceived from the performance art by performance artist Dirk Hendrikx. The film was produced by Peter Krüger for Inti Films and Raymond van der Kaaij for Revolver Media and stars Dirk Hendrikx, Lieve Meeusen and Constantin Cojocaru in principal roles. Drift is an esoteric and somewhat opaque meditation on loss and grief. The film had its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival, and won the FIPRESCI award at the International Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
