How It Feels

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

A meditative blend of documentary and sci-fi that uses the framework of a video game about Okinawa as a gateway into deeper questions about how we remember history, carry trauma, and create meaning from the past. It's a thinking person's film that prizes reflection over plot.
