DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Agnès Varda France

Master of fragmented, digressive storytelling who blended documentary, fiction, and personal essay to reinvent narrative form across her seven-decade career.

 Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand

Deconstructs linear time and causality through long takes and dreamlike sequences, privileging ambiguity and memory over conventional plot progression.
