DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Jia Zhangke → China · Fenyang

Time and landscape merge to chronicle China's forgotten margins with patient, eloquent stillness.

Ken Loach → United Kingdom

His films consistently expose how economic systems displace working-class people, as seen in 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Sorry We Missed You.'

Chloé Zhao → China/United States

Her work, particularly 'Nomadland,' intimately portrays communities economically displaced by deindustrialization and precarious labor conditions.
