DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Jean-Luc Godard → France

He systematically deconstructed cinema itself, exposing how media constructs meaning and reality through innovative, self-reflexive filmmaking that challenges representational conventions.

John Lee Hancock → United States

His films directly confront how African Americans are portrayed in media and cinema, using bold visual language to critique stereotypes and demand authentic representation.

Agnès Varda → France

She explored how documentary and narrative intersect to shape perception, examining whose stories get told and how subjective representation shapes our understanding of reality.
