Directed by one of the original formers of the Dogme 95 and considered the fourth such film to follow the manifesto. A group of travellers attempt to keep spirits afloat after their bus breaks down in the middle of the north African desert. They choose to put on a recreation of Shakespeare’s King Lear as tensions begin to build.
**********************************
đŸŽ„ 30 years later, Remembering DOGME 95 đŸŽ„
In March 1995, at a Parisian conference celebrating 100 years of film, Danish director Lars von Trier handed out red pamphlets that would formally announce DOGME 95. Together with Thomas Vinterberg, Trier had created a manifesto that compiled a “Vow of Chastity” - a strict set of rules that would determine whether or not film could be considered part of the movement. DOGME 95 was a backlash against the commercial studio filmmaking of the time, with its over-reliance on technology and digital tools. Over time, many filmmakers around the world joined the movement, creating together a rich body of work. However, not all films would strictly abide by every rule, so filmmakers would be required to “confess” the ways in which they have failed to comply with their vows.
This September, at Film i Malmö, we will revisit some of the most renowned films produced by the DOGME collective, and will celebrate their audacity, non-conformism, and determination to keep independent cinema alive!
