DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein Soviet Union

His montage theory directly parallels modernist poetic techniques of fragmentation and juxtaposition to create meaning through collision.

 Stan Brakhage United States

His experimental films use abstract imagery and unconventional editing as cinematic equivalents of modernist poetry's formal innovation and linguistic disruption.

 Jean-Luc Godard France

His films deconstruct narrative and language itself, employing self-reflexive techniques and fractured storytelling that echo modernist poetry's rejection of conventional form.
