DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Terrence Malick United States

His films transcend conventional narrative to explore the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of individual existence and memory.

 Agnès Varda France

She brilliantly weaves personal autobiography with broader social commentary, making her own journey inseparable from her artistic vision.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

His visually poetic approach transforms personal journeys into meditations on time, identity, and the traces we leave behind.
