DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky → Soviet Union/Russia

His films like 'Mirror' and 'Stalker' explore how memory fragments and displaces reality, using long takes and poetic imagery to examine the unreliable nature of recollection.

Theo Angelopoulos → Greece

His long-take cinematography captures the haunting displacement of refugees and exiles across borders while exploring how collective and personal memory shape identity.
