Will we see a trashy adaptation of a story by Stephen King? Or a loud, outrageous pastiche bursting with genre homages? The choice is vast, but choose you must.

Videotheek de Herinnering is a tribute to the nearly vanished art of wandering through the video store. An experience that has now become a thing of the past, because there is not a single video rental shop left in the Netherlands. Can you remember it?
