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 collage of over 500 film clips from movies, documentaries, reports, comics, and commercials. It examines how Germany's image of Africa was shaped from World War II onward, showing disturbing views from soldiers, journalists, and aid workers.

What happens
Befreien Sie Afrika ist eine Filmcollage von Martin Baer aus dem Jahr 1998. Darin geht er der Frage nach, woraus sich unsere heutigen Bilder vom „Schwarzen Kontinent“ speisen. In über 500 Ausschnitten aus Spielfilmen, Dokumentationen, Reportagen, Comics und Werbefilmen beschreibt der Film die deutsche Afrikapolitik in der Zeit vom Zweiten Weltkrieg bis heute und lässt dabei erschreckende Menschenbilder von Soldaten, Journalisten und Entwicklungshelfern nicht aus.
