Lilith (2023) 

Short Film

 

Directed by Jennie Haines and Eva Rogelij

Producers: Gabriella Niles-Ewen, Gaia Locatelli

 

There's something wrong with Lilith.

 

She hasn't left her room in weeks, will only speak to her mum through the door, she sleeps during the day, and has a pile of uneaten food growing stale in her bedside cabinet.

Why she won't go outside is unclear -- maybe it has something to do with the man whose body has just been found in the local river.

Her boyfriend, Julien, seems like a refuge from her problems. They live in the same town but communicate via video call due to Lilith's apparent agoraphobia.

One night, Lilith calls Julien, who starts expressing concern for her wellbeing. The conversation is brought to an abrupt end, however, when it becomes evident that Lilith has lured Julien into a trap -- and he's not the first or the last.

With Jessica Zhou • Rhys Elliot • Sarah Edwards
