DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Joachim Trier Denmark

His Dogme 95 movement and films like 'Dancer in the Dark' deliberately blur documentary realism with fictional narratives using handheld cameras and naturalistic performances.

 Michael Haneke Austria

Films like 'Funny Games' and 'Cache' use pseudo-documentary techniques and found-footage aesthetics to create an unsettling ambiguity between reality and constructed narrative.
