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.

What happens

Je suis noire, je suis belle est un film français réalisé par Sabrina Onana, sorti en 2023. Ce long métrage documentaire offre un regard intime et sociologique sur l'expérience des femmes afro-françaises, explorant des thématiques comme le rapport aux cheveux, les standards de beauté, le regard des hommes et la représentation médiatique des femmes noires. À travers les témoignages de douze protagonistes, le documentaire ouvre un dialogue constructif sur des problématiques touchant à la fois les sociétés africaines, caribéennes et occidentales.
