DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Lars von Trier Denmark

He systematically deconstructs cinematic authenticity through meta-narratives and Dogme 95's strict rules, questioning what makes art feel real or artificial.

 Abbas Kiarostami Iran

His work blurs documentary and fiction to explore how cinema creates and verifies reality, particularly in *Close-Up* where he dramatizes a true story, making authentication itself the subject.
