DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sidney Lumet United States

His films like 'Network' and 'Power' capture the intensity and immediacy of live broadcast television with unflinching scrutiny of media performance.

 Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

He extensively explored live theatrical and television performance as metaphors for identity and social control in works like 'The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant'.

 François Truffaut France

His fascination with performance and cinema's relationship to reality is evident in 'Day for Night' and his examination of actors and the mechanics of filmmaking as live spectacle.
