DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Apichatpong Weerasethakul → Thailand

His films dissolve boundaries between dream and reality, past and present, through long takes and spatial ambiguity that blur narrative coherence.

Tsai Ming-liang → Taiwan

His work dissolves boundaries between public and private space, human bodies and architecture, through slow cinema that transforms mundane environments into transcendent sites.
