How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A haunting meditation on artistic ambition colliding with historical catastrophe, as a director's attempt to complete a long-abandoned film becomes entangled with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It's a film about filmmaking, memory, and the surreal moment when personal stakes suddenly vanish against a larger crisis.
