DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries and films obsessively examine humanity's relationship with natural disasters and geological forces, from volcanoes to floods, revealing our vulnerability to earth's indifference.

 Ari Aster United States

His horror films use geological and environmental catastrophe as backdrops for exploring human despair, cult psychology, and the breakdown of civilization under extreme duress.
