DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein → Soviet Union

Jean-Luc Godard → France

Constantly deconstructed and recomposed narrative cinema itself, fragmenting stories and reassembling them to challenge conventional film language.

Abbas Kiarostami → Iran

Systematically recomposed reality and fiction by layering documentary, performance, and reflection to question how cinema constructs truth.
