DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His films obsessively document the journeys and obsessions of wanderers and explorers, from *Fitzcarraldo* to *Aguirre, the Wrath of God*, examining humanity's nomadic drive.

 Béla Tarr Hungary

His slow-cinema masterpieces like *Sátántangó* and *Túrelmás Magány* depict the spiritual and physical wanderings of displaced, rootless communities.

 Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand

His films explore nomadic memory and displacement across geographical and temporal spaces, blending personal and collective histories of migration and impermanence.
