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
The filmmaker turns the camera on herself and her family after struggling to make a film about mentally ill people on the streets of Dakar. It shows her personal experience with mental health and her relationships with those around her.

What happens
Une fenêtre ouverte (English: An open window) is a 2005 documentary film written and directed by Senegalese writer and filmmaker Khady Sylla. The film was a co-production by French company Athénaïse, as well as Guiss Guiss Communications, which is owned by Sylla's younger sister Mariama Sylla Faye. The film comes after an "unsatisfactory attempt" by Sylla to create a film capturing the numerous mentally ill people she encountered on the streets of Dakar. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
