DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Charlie Chaplin United Kingdom

His iconic 'Modern Times' (1936) uses the factory assembly line as a central metaphor for dehumanization in industrial society.

 Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His films frequently examine systems of control and human mechanization, treating social structures like literal conveyor belts that grind individuals.

 Chloé Zhao China/United States

Her works explore how modern economic systems transport and displace people, using geography and movement as visual metaphors for systemic forces.
