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 man travels into the Central African rainforest to work as a teacher. He confronts the discrimination faced by the local Pygmy community and begins to question his own beliefs.

What happens
Le silence de la forêt (lit. 'The Silence of the Forest/The Forest') is a 2003 drama film directed by Bassek Ba Kobhio and Didier Ouenangare. The film is an adaption of the eponymous novel by Étienne Goyémidé. A co-production between Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and France, it is the first feature filmed in the Central African Republic. It is also the first film to depict the contemporary prejudice held by some Africans toward the pygmy people. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
