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.

What happens

Saitane est un film nigérien réalisé par Oumarou Ganda, sorti en 1972. Un sorcier (interprété par Oumarou Ganda) règne sur toutes les activités d’un village. En se jouant des différents partis en présence, il promet tantôt l’amour, la santé, la richesse en échange des plus extravagants cadeaux. Un jour, il est démasqué et devient la risée du village. Désespéré, il se précipite d’une falaise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
