How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A short documentary that transforms a grand Parisian library into something simultaneously reverent and eerie, treating its vast catalogues as both humanity's intellectual treasure and an unknowable, almost living organism.
