DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Agnès Varda France

Consistently fragmented linear storytelling through digression, documentary elements, and playful formal experimentation across decades of filmmaking.

 Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand

Dissolves traditional narrative structures in favor of durational, meditative sequences that prioritize temporal experience over plot coherence.
