DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pier Paolo Pasolini → Italy

His films use vocal performance and linguistic experimentation as central artistic tools, exploring dialect, poetry, and the human voice as a site of cultural and political expression.

Joachim Trier → Denmark

His films integrate vocal performance as an extreme emotional register, incorporating singing, screaming, and non-traditional vocal expression to destabilize conventional narrative communication.
