DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Stan Brakhage United States

His abstract films employ visual improvisation and rhythmic editing that parallels free jazz's rejection of traditional form and embrace of pure sensory experience.

 Jean-Luc Godard France

His innovative approach to film editing, narrative disruption, and improvisational dialogue creates a cinematic equivalent to free jazz's liberation from conventional structure.
