Roughly bookended by the London Book Fair (8–10 April) and European Literature Night (14 May) this series of five documentary films drawn from the Goethe-Institut Film Archive looks at some of the mental and material processes it takes for a book to come into being, including how to develop a character, how to negotiate between languages when translating, or which type of paper to choose. These films are also portraits of five unique individuals.
