DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Wong Kar-wai → Hong Kong

His films capture ephemeral emotions and fleeting encounters through lush cinematography and fragmented narratives that mirror how memories fade.

Hirokazu Koreeda → Japan

He explores how ordinary, transient moments between people—conversations, glances, seasons changing—hold profound meaning and cannot be recaptured.

Agnès Varda → France

Her documentaries and narratives poignantly document the passage of time and impermanence, often revisiting places and people to examine what has been lost.
