Andrei Tarkovsky → Soviet Union

He transforms urban environments into philosophical spaces, exploring humanity's relationship with industrialized landscapes through long, meditative takes of cities and architecture.

Agnès Varda → France

Her documentaries and films intimately observe city dwellers and forgotten urban spaces, celebrating the poetry found in everyday Paris and marginal communities within metropolitan areas.
