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

Un amour pendant la guerre est un film documentaire réalisé en 2005 par la Camerounaise Osvalde Lewat-Hallade. Après avoir perdu la trace de son mari durant six ans, pendant la guerre en République démocratique du Congo, Aziza le retrouve installé dans la capitale de Kinshasa. Tous deux veulent reconstruire leur vie familiale. Aziza, journaliste, est hantée par le souvenir des horreurs qu’elle et d’autres femmes ont dû subir à l’est du pays pendant la guerre. Elle décide de retourner dans le Sud-Kivu pour faire la paix avec elle-même et rejoindre le combat de la vie des femmes déchirées par les multiples exactions subies. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
