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

Music for Black Pigeons er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2022 instrueret af Andreas Koefoed og Jørgen Leth. Jørgen Leth og Andreas Koefoeds film søger ind til musikkens væsen og de kreative processer med den danske jazzmusiker og komponist Jakob Bro som omdrejningspunkt - sekunderet af nogle af vor tids mest indflydelsesrige jazzmusikere, heriblandt Bill Frisell, Lee Konitz, Palle Mikkelborg og Midori Takada. Men er det overhovedet muligt at sætte ord på musikkens væsen? Filmen handler om at være til stede i nuet, om at spille og improvisere, om at videreføre arven fra generationer af jazzpionerer. Filmholdet har fulgt Jakob Bro gennem 14 år og overværet hans musikalske møder med musikere på tværs af generationer og landegrænser. Gennem Bros kompositioner udforsker filmens karakterer musikkens rum og giver poetiske, livsbekræftende og humoristisk svar på i hvert fald nogle af de spørgsmål, der stilles.
