DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries and films obsessively explore isolated, extreme island and remote landscapes as crucibles of human obsession and nature's sublime power.

 Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand

His poetic cinema frequently captures the contemplative, liminal qualities of island and waterside landscapes as spaces where time and consciousness become fluid.
