DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Jean-Luc Godard → France

Pioneered collage-like filmmaking by fragmenting narrative, mixing genres, and layering text, music, and image to deconstruct cinema itself.

Brian De Palma → United States

Constructs films as visual and narrative collages, assembling sequences from multiple sources and genres to create complex, layered thrillers.

Sergei Eisenstein → Soviet Union

Developed montage as collage, combining disparate shots and images to create meaning through juxtaposition and collision rather than smooth narrative flow.
