DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hirokazu Kore-eda Japan

His films like 'Shoplifters' and 'Our Little Sister' intimately explore family bonds, generational connections, and how memories shape domestic relationships.

 Hou Hsiao-hsien Taiwan

His autobiographical works such as 'The Time to Live and the Time to Die' and 'Flowers of Shanghai' poetically reconstruct personal and collective memory through family narratives.
