DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Jean-Luc Godard → France

His experimental films of the 1970s deconstructed narrative cinema itself, using fragmented editing, direct address, and radical form to challenge conventional storytelling.

Stan Brakhage → United States

A visionary of structural and experimental cinema, his 1970s works pushed abstract visual form to extremes through hand-painted film, unconventional editing, and rejection of narrative logic.
