How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A methodical examination of how photographs frame reality and whose stories get told, filtered through the gaze of an outsider attempting to document a nation still wounded by war. The film unsettles as much as it observes.
