DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Agnès Varda France

Her films are intimate explorations of memory, identity, and personal history, blending documentary and fiction to create deeply autobiographical narratives.

 Wong Kar-wai Hong Kong

His visually poetic cinema frequently examines nostalgic memories, lost love, and the subjective nature of personal experience through fragmented storytelling.
