DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His films obsessively document humanity's fragile existence against hostile natural forces and the brink of extinction, from *Aguirre* to *Grizzly Man*.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union/Russia

His philosophical masterpieces explore human survival in desolate worlds and our existential struggle against annihilation, most profoundly in *Stalker* and *Solaris*.

 Claire Denis France

She examines survival in extreme conditions and the collapse of civilization through poetic, visceral cinema, notably in *High Life* and *Trouble Every Day*.
