The Mill is an experimental documentary focusing on the sensorial experience within an unmodernised paper mill in south Estonia. It is a cinematic investigation of a space, portraying one small part of the industrial world through the activity of the factory’s machines and the people who interact with them. At times the film verges on sensory overload, skirting the boundary between documentary and abstraction.
