DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Stan Brakhage United States

Pioneer of experimental cinema who rejected narrative convention entirely, using hand-painted film stock and abstract visual techniques to explore pure perception and the mechanics of sight itself.

 Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand

Blends documentary, fiction, and installation art through long takes and fragmented narratives that question cinema's relationship to memory, consciousness, and the limits of narrative representation.
