How It Feels

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

A meditative portrait of a potter stewarding an entire national collection in quiet solitude, finding grace in the slow, repetitive work of his hands. The film moves at the pace of clay itself, inviting you to sit with the weight of preservation and the resilience of one person's devotion.
