DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luis Buñuel → Spain

Masterfully layered reality and dream logic through double exposures and overlapping narrative frames, questioning the nature of perception itself.

Stan Brakhage → United States

Pioneered experimental cinema using multiple printing, scratching, and layering techniques to create hallucinatory visual palimpsests that explore consciousness.

Sergei Eisenstein → Soviet Union

Developed montage as visual counterpoint, effectively 'double-printing' conflicting images to generate meaning through collision and superposition.
