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 memory and artistic creation where a director's attempt to capture his rural past dissolves into dreamlike sequences and surreal imagery. The film moves between the documentary impulse to preserve childhood and the impossibility of ever truly returning to it.
