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 film shows the daily traffic jams, street clutter and trash that fill ordinary life in Dakar, Senegal. It follows the reaction of the city's mayor after he sees a photo exhibition on the topic by artist Kadia Sow, and the plan his team puts in place to try and fix the problem.

What happens
Dakar cherche de l'oxygène est un film documentaire sénégalais réalisé en 2006. Les embouteillages, l'encombrement marchand et les saletés, font partie du quotidien ordinaire des dakarois. Dakar étouffe… C'est le thème de l'exposition photo de Mademoiselle Kadia Sow. Lors du vernissage, le maire de la ville, dépaysé et touché par les images décide avec son équipe de lancer une opération pour désengorger définitivement la ville, à l'encontre des populations.
