Beyond Paper (French: Au-delà du papier) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Oana Suteu Khintirian and released in 2021.[1] The film is about the contemporary transition from paper to digital record-keeping, centring in particular on the impact of that shift on the process of preserving cultural heritage.[2]

The film premiered in March 2023 at the Montreal International Festival of Films on Art,[3] before going into wider commercial release in April.

Critical response

Marc Glassman of Point of View praised the film in particular for finding human emotional angles to her story, writing that "Oana Suteu Khintirian hasn’t just made a film, which ultimately endorses paper and book and libraries. She’s made it about family: a cousin and spiritual sister, who publishes books in Bucharest features prominently as do others who are deeply moved by the historic romantic letters and a scholarly tradition that goes back for generations."[4]
