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 French documentary filmmaker uses his own experience to examine the forgotten history of Algerian steelworkers in Lorraine. The film features interviews with workers who arrived in France in the 1950s and uses an old Peugeot 404 as a connecting thread.

What happens
Le Chemin noir est un long métrage documentaire français réalisé par Abdallah Badis en 2009 et sorti en 2010. À partir de sa propre expérience, Abdallah Badis explore un aspect oublié de l'histoire de l'immigration maghrébine en France : celui des sidérurgistes algériens en Lorraine. Le récit s'appuie sur des témoignages de travailleurs algériens débarqués dans l'hexagone au cours des années 1950. Une vieille Peugeot 404 sert de fil conducteur au film, in : Annuel du cinéma 2013, Éditions Les Fiches du cinéma, Paris, 2013. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
