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 ten year old girl named Soumai lives in a refugee camp in Burkina Faso. She believes her mother was taken to another camp rather than killed. She writes a letter to her mother about her baby brother who won't stop crying.

What happens
Une si longue attente est un court métrage dramatique burkinabè réalisé par Habibou Zoungrana, sorti en 2021. Soumaï, âgée de dix ans, vit dans un camp de réfugiés. Sa mère a été tuée lors d’une attaque terroriste, mais l’enfant est persuadée qu’elle a été déportée dans un autre camp. Convaincue de pouvoir la rejoindre, elle lui écrit une lettre pour lui donner de ses nouvelles et l’informer que son petit frère Sambo, encore allaité, n’arrête pas de pleurer.
