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

Lasse Lasse lille er en kortfilm fra 1993 instrueret af Mette Knudsen efter manuskript af Mette Knudsen. Det er ikke altid let at være udearbejdende mor. Lasse græder, når man forlader ham i børnehaven, og man er selv træt, når man igen - som den sidste - afhenter ham allersidst på eftermiddagen. Og så er man i fuld gang med en karriere som fødselslæge!! Med varme og medfølelse skildrer filmen i smukke, poetiske tableauer et evigt gentagende hverdagsdrama, der på sin egen indtrængende måde bliver til et spørgsmål om, hvordan vi prioriterer det bedste, som vi har: Børnene.
