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 Tuareg man travels across the Sahara to preserve his people's traditions after the Malian government collapses. The film shows how his community gets caught between a fight for Tuareg independence and Al Qaeda's expansion in the region.
