THEME EXPLORATION
artistic merit and evaluation
Tracing the thread…
Rainer Werner Fassbinder · Germany
His prolific output and genre-blending works constantly challenge what constitutes artistic merit versus commercial appeal.
Jean-Luc Godard · Switzerland/France
He systematically deconstructs cinema itself and questions the criteria by which films are judged as art versus entertainment.
Abbas Kiarostami · Iran
His meta-cinematic films examine how meaning and artistic value are constructed through the act of viewing and interpretation.
