[Text available only in English] How to Feel is a machinima short film created during the Nouvelle Bug vol.2 residency. The film was shot almost entirely inside the video game The Sims 4.
The story follows a girl who cannot love herself and is forced by circumstances to learn how to stay in her body, breathe, and feel alive. As she learns, her presence becomes increasingly tangible, along with the gaze of the camera.
Although there was an initial concept for the narrative, the video game itself, without my guidance, suggested developments that later became essential to the story, as if the character were gradually becoming aware of her own choices and personality within this artificial world.
