How It Feels

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

A gleeful seven-minute romp where Chaplin's Tramp character repeatedly foils a cameraman trying to film a children's car race, turning the act of filmmaking itself into slapstick comedy. It's a cheeky, meta-theatrical bit that plays with the audience's awareness that they're watching a film about filming.
