DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand · Bangkok

Cinema as liminal space where time dissolves and the living commune with ghosts.

 Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His films like Mirror and Stalker use long takes and layered temporality to explore how memory, time, and consciousness intersect in human experience.

 Christopher Nolan United Kingdom

Memento, Inception, and Dunkirk deliberately fragment and manipulate narrative time to mirror the unreliability of memory and perception.
