How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meditative visual poem about an Armenian poet's life, told through tableaux and his own verses rather than conventional narrative. Watching it feels less like seeing a story unfold and more like moving through a gallery of carefully composed moments.
