DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union/Russia

His meditative films like *Mirror* and *Stalker* explore memory, loss, and the haunting presence of the past through poetic imagery and introspective narrative.

 Theo Angelopoulos Greece

His works, particularly *Ulysses' Gaze* and *The Suspended Step of the Stork*, are elegies for history and forgotten peoples, using landscape and long takes to commemorate collective memory.
