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
Benkos Biohó est un film documentaire colombien réalisé en 1994. Le film évoque la vie de Benkos Biohó, héros cimarron qui a libéré San Basilio de Palenque en Colombie, en 1600. Il est consacré à la culture africaine en Colombie, vue et racontée à travers de la musique bullerengue, chalupa, chalusonga, lumbalú, mapalé et champeta dont les rythmes traditionnels nous renvoient au passé, aux ancêtres, à l’Afrique.. La musique de nos jours, jouée par la jeune génération nos retourne au présent, face à un pays « pluriethnique et multiculturel » plein de traditions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
