The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Syrian women recount their experiences of systematic rape committed by the Assad regime during the Syrian revolution and war. The film gives voice to their testimonies and documents the use of sexual violence as a weapon.

What happens

Syrie, le cri étouffé est un documentaire français réalisé par Manon Loizeau, co-écrit avec Annick Cojean et avec l'aide de Souad Wheidi, et diffusé en 2017 sur France 2. Plusieurs femmes syriennes y narrent les viols qu'elles ont subis, perpétrés de manière massive par le régime de Bachar el-Assad dès les débuts de la révolution syrienne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
