DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His films capture fleeting moments of memory, dream, and time through long takes that emphasize the transient nature of human experience and perception.

 Agnès Varda France

She explores the ephemeral through documentary and experimental forms, focusing on disappearing landscapes, aging, and the fragile traces of everyday life.

 Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand

His meditative cinema embraces temporal dissolution and the impermanence of memory, often featuring long static shots where images fade into darkness and consciousness becomes unstable.
