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

Lille Lise let paa taa (originaltittel: Lille Lise Letpaataa) er en dansk stumfilmkomedie fra 1924 regissert av Lau Lauritzen sr. Han skrev også manuset. I hovedrollene ser vi Carl Schenstrøm og Harald Madsen som Telegrafstolpen og Tilhengeren. Norskfødte Grethe Ruszt-Nissen spiller tittelrollen. Niels Petter Solberg skriver i boka Norske filmdivaer i Hollwood at Lille Lise let paa taa ironisk nok skulle bli én av de få filmene som viste henne som danser. Dette var Ruzt-Nissens andre og siste danske film. Hun fikk aldri se sin innsats som Lise. Hun emigrerte sammen med moren Agnes og broren Erik til USA før filmen hadde hatt premiere. Gretha Ruszt-Nissen ble i USA kjent som Greta Nissen. Lille Lise let paa taa ble gjenutgitt som lydfilm med ettersynkroniserte stemmer i 1969. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
