DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

He repeatedly interrogated how myths and historical events are mythologized by power structures, most strikingly in his Canterbury Tales and Salò.

 Abbas Kiarostami Iran

His films like Close-Up and 10 blur the boundaries between documentary and fiction to expose how truth and performance are inseparable in cinema and life.
