DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ruggero Deodato Italy

His found-footage horror film 'Cannibal Holocaust' (1972) pioneered the found-footage format and explored the disturbing authenticity of lost documentary reels.

 Christopher Nolan United Kingdom

His debut 'Following' (1998) employs fragmented, non-linear found-footage-adjacent aesthetics and explores themes of surveillance and lost moments of truth.
