DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Agnès Varda → France

Her documentary and narrative works frequently explore fragmentation, gaps, and the interruptions in human memory and cinema itself, particularly in films like 'The Gleaners and I.'

Jean-Luc Godard → Switzerland/France

His career-long project of deconstructing cinema involves constant interruptions of narrative, editing, and production norms, treating discontinuity as both method and philosophy.
