DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein → Soviet Union

His montage theory and visual compositions mirror the layering and bold contrasts fundamental to printmaking techniques.

David Lynch → United States

His use of high contrast black-and-white imagery, texture, and deliberate visual distortion echo woodcut and etching aesthetics.

Agnès Varda → France

Her collage-like narrative structures and integration of still images into moving frames reflect the printmaking principle of composition and repetition.
