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 4-year-old girl named Lise witnesses her father dragging her mother's body to a car. Through flashbacks we see the parents' violent divorce. The story seems to show a father who killed his wife and now threatens his daughter, but then the film twists and things are not what they appear.

What happens

Lille Lise er en kortfilm fra 2005 instrueret af Benjamin Holmsteen efter eget manuskript. »Lille Lise« er en gyser om 4-5-årige Lise, der er vidne til, at hendes far slæber liget af hendes mor ud til familiens bil for at køre ud til en skovsø, hvor liget skal dumpes. Igennem flashbacks forstår vi, at moren og faren lå i skilsmisse, og at Lise har været vidne til højlydte skænderier og vold mellem forældrene. Filmen overbeviser i starten sit publikum om, at faren har slået moren ihjel og nu vil lade Lise lide samme skæbne. Men så vender fortællingen, og vi forstår, at alt ikke er, hvad det ser ud til. Filmen vandt en Robert for bedste kortfilm i 2006 og fik en Special Mention af ungdomsjuryen på BUSTER filmfestivalen 2006. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
