Music for Black Pigeons

Andreas Koefoed, Jørgen Leth, Denmark, 2022

92 min.DK/DocumentaryMusic films

How does it feel to play? What does it mean to listen? As Director Jørgen Leth poses existential questions to the musicians, long pauses occur. Because is it even possible to put the emotions of music into words? The film is a cinematic improvisation piece. It’s about being present in the now, about playing and improvising, about carrying on the legacy of generations of jazz pioneers and creating something, unlike anything you’ve ever heard before.
