The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Yatin : Lieu de souffrance est un film chrétien béninois réalisé par Christine Madeleine Botokou et sorti en 2002. Premier long-métrage béninois tourné en vidéo et premier film chrétien francophone d'Afrique de l'Ouest, Yatin est devenu un classique, notamment utilisé pour l'évangélisation, qui a rencontré le succès bien au-delà des frontières béninoises, notamment au Togo, au Burkina Faso et en Côte d'Ivoire.
