How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A descent into psychological horror told through the medium of stop-motion itself, where the boundary between the animator's trauma and her creation dissolves into nightmare. Watching it feels like witnessing something deeply personal unraveling in real time.
