DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Dziga Vertov Soviet Union

Pioneer of the 'Kino-Pravda' newsreel who deconstructed documentary truth through experimental montage and self-reflexive commentary on the nature of filmed reality.

 Luis Buñuel Spain

Subverted newsreel conventions and propaganda through surrealist satire, most notably in 'Land Without Bread' which mockingly undermines documentary objectivity.
