THEME EXPLORATION
infrastructure
Tracing the thread…
Béla Tarr · Hungary
His sprawling, architecturally-focused films like *Sátántangó* use decaying infrastructure and institutional spaces as metaphors for societal collapse and human existence.
Abbas Kiarostami · Iran
His films consistently explore how infrastructure—roads, buildings, and urban development—shapes human relationships and reveals the tensions between modernity and tradition.
Wong Kar-wai · Hong Kong
He transforms urban infrastructure—neon-lit streets, apartment blocks, and transit spaces—into poetic expressions of isolation, desire, and the rhythms of contemporary life.
