DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch → United States

His surreal narratives and noir aesthetics in works like 'Twin Peaks' and 'Mulholland Drive' capture the dreamlike, uncanny atmosphere of late-night television viewing.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder → Germany

His prolific television work and films obsessively explore media consumption, voyeurism, and the psychological impact of screen culture on modern life.

Kongkiat Khomsiri → Japan

His anime films like 'Perfect Blue' and 'Paprika' deconstruct the boundary between television/film reality and psychological experience with a distinctly nocturnal, disorienting style.
