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
This documentary follows children with serious illnesses in Guinea-Bissau who need to be evacuated for medical treatment. It shows how bureaucracy and political instability make an already desperate situation even harder.

What happens
Los dioses de verdad tienen huesos (Les dieux ont vraiment des os) est un film documentaire espagnol réalisé en 2010. La vie n’est pas simple en Guinée-Bissau, l’un des pays les plus pauvres du monde. Les enfants atteints de graves maladies doivent être évacués pour sauver leur vie. Mais la bureaucratie et l’instabilité politique – un jour, le président et le chef des armées sont assassinés et tout le pays se retrouve paralysé – rendent particulièrement difficiles ces démarches. En Afrique, les choses les plus faciles sont difficiles et l’impossible devient simple. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
