DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Agnès Varda France

She pioneered autobiographical filmmaking and directly addressed her own presence and mortality on screen, blurring the line between documentary and personal essay.

 Chris Marker France

His films, especially 'Sans Soleil', explore how memory and perspective shape representation, with the filmmaker's consciousness becoming the central subject rather than external events.
