The Fir Tree
A Short Film by Lars Ostenfeld. Inspired by Hans Christian Anderson's fairytale, this Danish film tells the story of a Christmas tree from a most unusual angle - through the 'voice' of the tree itself. The tree has big ambitions, doing everything it can to grow so tall that it reaches the sky. Featuring extraordinary photography, the film follows the adventures of its life from sapling to maturity, culminating in a triumphal Christmas Day. Along the way, viewers experience the natural - and human - world from a strangely moving perspective.

Highly Overrated But Still Good
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
