DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein → Soviet Union

Pioneer of montage theory who constructed meaning through the collision and juxtaposition of disparate images, fundamentally shaping cinematic collage aesthetics.

Jean-Luc Godard → France

Deconstructed narrative cinema through fragmentation, text overlays, and assemblage of found footage, treating film itself as a collage of cultural debris.

David Lynch → United States

Blends surrealism, industrial imagery, and fractured narratives into dreamlike collages that juxtapose the mundane with the unsettling.
