Were they already born talented and with a silver camera in hands? Let's see:

"A Flower" (1971) - one of the earliest films by Lars von Trier. He is 15. It seems that this drama is a short version of what we will see in all the following films by Trier .

"Flying Padre" (1951) - Stanley Kubrick's debut in documentary genre. He is 23. It's 17 years before "A Space Odyssey", but Kubrick is already flying with camera.
⠀
"A Flirtatious Woman" (1955) 25-year-old Jean-Luc Godard dedicates his first short film to relations between a woman and a man, and will keep doing it for a very long time. French will be French!
⠀
"The Killers" (1956) - the first student short film by Andrei Tarkovsky, one of the greatest film directors ever. He is 24. Will you spot here that famous Tarkovsky?

"The Lamp" (1959) - one of the earliest shorts by "great and terrible" 26-year-old Roman Polanski,
who has always been standing aside with his dark humour and strange relations between his characters.
⠀
"The Office" (1966), Krzysztof Kieslowski, a master of documentary, depicts the workflow of one public institution. It seems nothing has changed much for the past 70 years. Kieslowski is 25.
⠀
"The Big Shave" (1967) - a short film by 25-year-old Martin Scorsese. It has a very simple plot, however, it's just a very strong metaphor that Scorsese would come back to later in "Taxi Driver".
⠀
"The Grandmother" (1970) is the first short film by David Lynch. He is 24. And he just opens up a door to his surreal world.
⠀
"Doodlebug" (1997) is a simple short film by 27-year-old Christopher Nolan. He is already playing with time and space.
