These directors are significant in the history of cinema because of the themes they developed in their movies as well as the novelties they brought to the form. Angelopulos, Eisenstein, Bergman, Bunuel, Ceylan, Fassbinder, Ford, Godard, Kurosawa, Loach, Ray and Visconti: all of them produced masterpieces of the film history and their production may be defined as turning points in the evolution of cinema as an artistic realm. We think that their works can be analyzed and identified from many perspectives as they are most relevant to define the main purposes of film as art. Native place-making and universal, developed and underdeveloped, East and West, conventional and avant-garde, national and international, all of these dualities profoundly elaborated in human and social sciences will also be important for us to think about and discuss leading work of arts of these authors.
