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 Senegalese man returns home after studying in France. The film follows him as he reconnects with his family, friends, and the realities of Dakar. Through voice-over and black-and-white images, it asks what choices he will make.

What happens
Et la neige n'était plus... est un film sénégalais, court métrage en noir et blanc d'Ababacar Samb Makharam sorti en 1966. Le film suit un jeune boursier sénégalais qui revient de ses études en France. A l'aide d'une voix-off et d'images en noir et blanc sur Dakar, sa famille, ses amis et ses dérives, le réalisateur lui demande avec franchise, courage et humour quels choix il fera, à nouveau au contact des réalités de son pays, posant ainsi la question à toute la jeunesse africaine.
