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 street boy from the countryside walks toward the city carrying all his belongings in a sack on his back. Fifteen years after the Rwandan genocide, many orphaned children live as street kids on the edges of society.

What happens
Maibobo è un cortometraggio del 2010 diretto da Yves Montand Niyongabo. Quindici anni dopo il genocidio in Ruanda, molti bambini rimasti orfani sono diventati maibobo (ragazzi di strada) e vivono tutt'oggi ai margini della società. Piedi scalzi e sacco sulle spalle con tutti i suoi averi, un ragazzo di strada dalla campagna si dirige verso la città in cerca di fortuna. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
