DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

His films like 'Tokyo Story' and 'Shoplifters' intimately explore the lives of people in cramped shared apartments and temporary housing, examining how domestic spaces reveal family bonds and social inequality.

 Ken Loach United Kingdom

In films like 'Kes' and 'I, Daniel Blake,' he documents the struggles of working-class families fighting for stable housing and decent apartments, making rental insecurity a central social commentary.

 Chloé Zhao China/USA

Her film 'Nomadland' and earlier work 'Songs My Brothers Taught Me' examine the precarity of housing and temporary living arrangements across America, turning apartments and transient spaces into metaphors for modern displacement.
