DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein Soviet Union

His revolutionary montage technique and films like Battleship Potemkin and October depict the violent overthrow of imperial palaces and state institutions.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

 Agnès Varda France

Her films challenge institutional and social hierarchies, exploring how spaces of power are questioned and reimagined through feminist and poetic perspectives.
