DOGME 95 EXPLAINED

In the grand arc of cinema history, Dogme 95 was just a flash in the pan. It lasted for less than a decade, and resulted in only a few dozen movies, most of which broke its famously strict rules. And yet Dogme has had a long shadow: it's influence is inarguable and massive. So what is Dogme? And why is it important?

LARS VON TRIER AND THOMAS VINTERBERG

Dogme 95 was a radical filmmaking movement launched in 1995 by Danish directors Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg. Conceived as a reaction against the growing artificiality in mainstream cinema, the movement sought to strip filmmaking down to its purest essentials. Von Trier and Vinterberg issued the “Dogme 95 Manifesto” alongside a set of strict guidelines they called the “Vow of Chastity.” Their aim was to shift focus away from special effects, artificial production design, and the director’s personal artistic flourishes, placing emphasis instead on story, performance, and the truth of the moment.

DOGME 95 MANIFESTO RULES

The rules of Dogme 95 were famously uncompromising (and to some, ridiculous). Filmmakers agreeing to the Vow of Chastity committed themselves to shooting entirely on location without bringing in props or sets not already present at the location. Sound and image were to be recorded together, meaning no post-dubbed music or sound effects. In practice, filmmakers often bent or even broke these rules, but the spirit of Dogme lay in the attempt to adhere to them as much as possible.

DOGME 95 MOVEMENT INFLUENCE

The influence of Dogme 95 spread quickly, both within and beyond Denmark. The movement inspired over thirty "officially certified" Dogme films, made in countries ranging from France to the United States (with Harmony Korine) to South Korea. While the manifesto itself was retired in 2005, its principles continued to shape independent filmmaking long after. The handheld camerawork, natural lighting, and improvisational performances seen in Dogme films prefigured the aesthetics of later movements such as mumblecore in the U.S. and the broader trend toward cinéma vérité–style realism (think mumblecore and its ilk). Its ethos also seeped into mainstream cinema; directors who were not officially part of Dogme adopted some of its stripped-down techniques for their own projects.

Dogme 95 reinvigorated the conversation about what cinema could be when freed from the pressure to conform to Hollywood spectacle. Do we need another one?
