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
This documentary film collects firsthand accounts from North African immigrants who came to France for work, their wives who later joined them, and the children born or raised in France. It follows three generations as they share their experiences of labor, family separation, and building a new life.
