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 filmmaker tries to reconnect with his old friend Jesper, a former punk scene figure in 1980s Copenhagen who struggled with drug addiction and now lives as a reclusive and overweight man. The documentary shows their attempts to work together while weaving in archive footage from the punk era and animated segments about their shared childhood.

What happens
Mig og Jesper er en portrætfilm instrueret af Ulrik Crone efter manuskript af Ulrik Crone og Lars Kjeldgaard. Han var en af den københavnske punk-bevægelses pilskæve grundpiller i 80'erne. Jesper Reisinger illustrerede og skrev et utal af anarkistiske, begejstrede artikler, spillede musik i bandet No Knox og fyrede den alt i alt grundigt af. Men pludselig tog stofferne overhånd, han røg ud på et sidespor, og da bedstevennen Ulrik Crone prøver at hive den nu nogle-og-40-årige og stærkt overvægtige enspænder ud af sin klokke, sker det ikke uden barnlige nykker og modstand. Projektet lykkes dog i nogen grad; selv om han ikke er den letteste samarbejdspartner, vender Jesper tilbage til livet og minderne. Ulrik Crone viser cool arkivstumper fra 80'er-punkens København og formidler erindringerne fra deres fælles barndom som indskudte animationsfilm i denne herlige periode-/portræt-/dokumentar-/tegnefilm.
