DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andy Warhol → United States

His films capture fleeting moments and the transient nature of fame, celebrity, and human attention through experimental cinema.

Stan Brakhage → United States

His abstract, hand-painted films embody ephemeral art by existing partially as physical objects that degrade and change with each projection.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul → Thailand

His slow cinema works meditate on memory, time, and the fleeting present through long takes that emphasize the transience of lived experience.
