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 follows a film shoot happening on the streets of Algiers. It explores the strong desire for cinema in a country that has been unable to see images of itself for nearly two decades.

What happens
Chouïa cinema est un documentaire français réalisé par Julien Dubois et Fodil Chabbi en 2003. S’appuyant sur le récit d’un tournage en décors naturels dans les rues et les quartiers d’Alger, ce film entend aller à la rencontre de ce profond désir de cinéma dans un pays qui, durant près de deux décennies, fut privé d’images de lui-même.
