DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Nobuhiko Obayashi Japan

His surrealist and experimental approach to narrative, particularly in 'Hsiao-hsiao' and 'House,' deconstructs conventional cinema through dreamlike imagery and innovative visual techniques.

 Naoyuki Ito Japan

A pioneer of structural and visual experimentation who uses rhythm, repetition, and abstract imagery to explore the fundamental properties of film itself.
