How It Feels

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

A short film that turns inward as it grapples with the impossibility of capturing lived experience: a family, a crisis, a camera, and the gap between them. What emerges is tender and uncertain, about presence rather than preservation.
