	Ten years of Dogme
		Dogme can also be seen as an alternative artistic working method, a kind of therapy for the artist suffocating in mainstream values and technological perfectionism.
		Dogme's only purely Danish source of inspiration was the experimental documentarian JÃ¸rgen Leth, a central figure in Danish avant-garde cinema since the 1960s.
		Dogme was conceived as an international movement and the movement was enthusiastically received abroad - as a kind of miracle cure for experimental, alternative low-budget films.

	Dogme 95
		Dogme 95 is a movement in filmmaking[?] developed in 1995 by the Danish directors Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg, Kristian Levring[?], and Soren Kragh-Jacobsen[?].
		In certain cases, the titles of Dogme films are superfluous, since they are also referred to by numbers.
		The first of the Dogme films was Vinterberg's 1998 film Festen, known in English by the title The Celebration and Dogme 1.

	Dogme still able to divide ELT \| TEFL \| EducationGuardian.co.uk
		Dogme 95 (spearheaded by Lars von Trier) vowed to rescue cinema from its slavish allegiance to a Hollywood model of film-making, with its addiction to fantasy and special effects.
		Dogme means taking time off from the coursebook to talk with your learners, making that talk the content of the teaching moment.
		Dogme moments, Dogme lessons: the next stage is a Dogme classroom - an open one, to which the learners are bringing in their own material because they know they can, and one where nobody knows precisely what will happen when they walk through the door.

	Dogme2000 - LIFE - English
		During a three-year period the Dogme municipalities in Denmark will develop a Dogme manual that is to serve as an inspiration and ”getting-started-guide” for Danish and foreign municipalities with an interest in making an extra effort for the environment.
		Dogme 2000 is a cooperation between five Danish municipalities having set up a number of common targets for their work towards a better environment and sustainability.
		The cooperation is led by a steering committee consisting of politicians and officials from the Dogme municipalities.

	The Film Journal...Passionate and informed film criticism from an auteurist perspective. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Nonetheless, Dogme 95 has produced-appropriated, evolved, even recapitulated-the latest code of cinematic "realism," a substantially poignant feat that must be considered in all its ramifications, beginning with its position along the genealogy of cinematic realism and the ideology of the photographic code.
		This unity is finally completed by the supplementary union of method and meaning, in which the actual cinematography of Dogme 95-including the adoption of previous "realist" technical trends, and especially the numerous implications of digital film (gritty frame, shaky transportable frame, lack of depth-of-field)-binds the apparatus to the characters in front of the camera.
		Dogme 95 itself, the manifesto and movement, can be nothing more than it is: an ephemeral movement, a fleeting political statement that provided the artistic atmosphere for the creation of the films that combine ensemble methodology into the scope of auteurism, that plead anti-genre even in from the cesspool of agreed-upon rules.

	The Heart-Warming Spark
		But the true Dogme quality is fostered by everything that is brought about by the handheld process: the character portrayals get under your skin, exuding human intimacy and unpredictable vitality.
		Dogme filmmaking has dogmatically rejected the tyranny of chalk lines and long dolly shots focusing instead on the characters and their relationships, the authenticity of their reactions - a heart-warming spark of life lived as we know it.
		Dogme 12, Lone Scherfig's bittersweet, romantic comedy "Italian for Beginners", was also a triumph for the five leads who gave their best film performance to date.

	HLT Magazine, November 03 : Short Article 1
		This summer, for example, a posting to the dogme ELT group (www.groups.yahoo.com/group/dogme) asked the question, 'What does a dogme lesson look like?' It was asked in advance of a presentation, and we carried it around with us for a few days trying to think of an answer.
		Dogme targets the same goals as 'conventional' teaching but these goals are achieved through dialogue, rather than through the more closed varieties of interaction characteristic of transmissive teaching (teacher spouts, students bite tongue) or, even, of the communicative approach (students search for words, teacher bites tongue).
		Hence the appeal of the Dogme 95 filmmakers movement (the analogy that engendered dogme ELT), which rejected Hollywood razzmatazz, and saw itself as a “rescue action”, attempting to restore to cinema the “inner story” of its characters and to rehabilitate, for the makers of films, their original joy in film-making.

	soviet propaganda
		Of course, the Dogme 95 creators discovered that their ideas attracted many who wanted to break into the avant-garde, which the creators didn't object to but had some qualms with.
		Moreover, they also discovered the difficulties in interpreting what was and what was not a Dogme 95 film; they had a set of specified rules, but they didn't necessarily think it should be strictly interpreted as long as the spirit of Dogme 95 existed.
		Possibly, although it's difficult to say not knowing their own personal philosophies, but the creators of Dogme 95 have said that they never wanted Dogme 95 to be a genre of film, so this does shed some light on some of the battles the directors might have faced with one another.

	Gamasutra - Features - "Dogma 2001: A Challenge to Game Designers" [2.02.01]
		The Dogme Manifesto was written in a very tongue-in-cheek style, and it was difficult to tell whether the authors were serious or just pulling the industry's leg.
		Although the Dogme 95 rules don't translate directly to interactive entertainment - film is, after all, a different medium - my objective is similar: to reduce the process of game design to its fundamentals, to encourage designers to concentrate on nothing but the vital elements of a game.
		Dogme 95's goals were twofold: first, to uncouple filmmaking from technology (by denying it its technological tools), and second, to remind the director that he or she is not a demi-god (or demagogue), but part of a collaborative process whose primary aim is drama, not the aesthetics of film itself.

	How can film art proceed? - Festen (Celebration), a film by Thomas Vinterberg, and the Dogme 95 event at the London ...
		Dogme 95 is a group of Danish directors, pre-eminently Lars von Trier and Vinterberg.
		At the moment, however, the Dogme group is using the Vow as a means to an end, and is quite clear on the differences between their rules and the films that result.
		Dogme 95, because of the limits to its ambitions, need not necessarily ever have had good results.

	Film Comment: The Screener Fiasco
		Despite the fact that Dogme 95's validity as a groundbreaking initiative was in question from the start-it stemmed as much from Lars von Trier's mischievous antics as from his experimental vision-there's no denying its importance to the low-budget, DV revolution of the late Nineties.
		While it may be premature to properly measure Dogme's effects on cinema, a brave writer could start things off by either convincingly arguing for its progressive possibilities, its compromises, or its relative failure.
		If Dogme Uncut is meant to be a history and survey of Dogme, then the author's subjective style proves intrusive; if the goal is to understand Dogme's importance for contemporary filmmaking, then he fails to form any sort of coherent thesis.

	Keep it real \| Features \| Guardian Unlimited Film
		Dogme called for films to be shot on real locations, in the here and now, with hand-held cameras and no added sound, music or optical effects.
		The first four Dogme films, presented by the original Dogme "brethren" - Thomas Vinterberg's Festen, von Trier's The Idiots, Soren Kragh-Jacobsen's Mifune and Kristian Levring's The King Is Alive - made an immediate impact on the festival circuit and the global box office.
		Dogme was like a spontaneous revolution that would have happened one way or another - just because the technology was there.

	Dogme and the Reality of Fiction
		Dogme’s theoretical exposition of its newly invented realism involves a technological dilemma that touches upon the paradoxical tension between the fictional and the factual bipolarity inherent in cinema.
		That is, Dogme reverses the modern approach where the shocking action remains confined to the off-screen space.
		Therefore, the irony inherent in Dogme 95 as it tries to separate itself from the illusion of the mainstream cinema, is that it attempts to capture a completely “natural” scenario and drama (i.e., a factual event) by “artificially” (i.e., a fictional contrivance) viewing it through a man-made lens.

		Dogme 2000 is a close and binding cooperation between municipalities wishing to make an extra effort to maintain and extend work towards environmentally sustainable development.
		The chemicals field has so far not been part of the Dogme cooperation and is thus an example of a new, common area of effort.
		One of the commitments of the Dogme cooperation is to commission an annual external audit according to the same auditing principles and using the same, external auditor.

		Andreas (Anders W. Berthelsen, star of Mifune, the equally warm-hearted third Dogme film) is a young priest who's come to town as a temporary pastor, the church's previous minister having been reprimanded for throwing the organist off the balcony.
		Dogme rules forbid the use of manipulative musical cues, and the resulting sense of patience and quiet benefits the film greatly.
		Dogme status has been successfully used as a way to market the Danish films, which may not otherwise have received so much international exposure.

	Turns of Phrase: Dogme 95
		Dogme is still mainly a term of European art-house cinema, but it’s becoming known through feature films made under these rules, such as Lars von Trier’s Idiots and Thomas Vinterberg’s Festen (The Celebration), which won the Special Jury Prize at Cannes in 1998.
		Dogme helped the film stay as close to reality as possible.
		Rules are there to be broken and for this third outing under the Dogme 95 banner, director Kragh-Jacobsen has embraced the sacred vow of cinematic chastity with anything but monastic rigour.

	Dogme 95: The Vow of Chastity (abridged) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Before the title sequence the Dogme manifesto certificate is showed with the number of the film.
		The movie seems to break with the Dogme rules, as film music appears, but von Trier reveals in an interview that the source of the music - the harmonica player - was located behind the camera while shooting.
		The motivation behind the vow of chastity could be something between a gimmick and a serious attempt to produce a pure form of cinema but it had it's first impacts: the Danish government has offered increased financial support.

	ZA@Play - Movies: Well, is it a new wave or isn't it? 06/01/00
		The 10 commandments that constitute Dogme's Vow of Chastity include the forswearing of extraneous sound and lighting, "superficial action" and "geographical and temporal alienation"; a commitment to hand-held camerawork; and censure of all genres and any explicit "taste".
		Sure enough, while the third Dogme director, Soren Jacobsen, has described how his "sadness" at the sameness of international films prompted his participation in Dogme 95, the movement's regulations coincidentally inspired his best film: Mifune's Last Song was the subject of a fierce bidding war at the Berlin Festival last year.
		Dogme may be more easily regarded as a technical than a political crusade.

	MMI Book Review: Dogme Uncut
		Dogme Uncut is a new book on the Dogme concept challenge to conventional rules of filmmaking.
		Von Trier insists that the emphasis in Dogme 95 as it is called, is artistic not economic but in a chapter entitled "Dogme Unveiled" some critics find the criteria silly, having nothing to do with making good films.
		In the US, reports Stevenson, Dogme may be seen as a "European intellectual curiosity' and does not seem to have caught on, primarily because only two dogme films, Vinterberg's The Celebration and von Trier's The Idiots received significant exposure, confined to art house theaters.

	TIME Europe Magazine: Old Dogme, New Tricks --
		The 10th Danish Dogme film, In Your Hands (which opens in Britain this week), is set in a women's prison and examines what happens when a chaplain who's losing her faith meets an inmate who can heal with her touch.
		"That wasn't part of the plan." Even so, established directors adopted Dogme as a way to get their creative juices flowing again (with the risk of failure adding a little thrill), while struggling filmmakers saw it as vindication: a hit could be made on a shoestring.
		The Dogme look — intense, immediate, documentary-like — was exactly what British director Danny Boyle wanted for his 2002 zombie film28 Days Later, which imagines what would happen if people were infected with a biological form of rage and then left to tear each other apart.

		Dogme #1 (they were numbered as they appeared), Vinterberg's The Celebration, seems to surreptitiously capture the intrigues, backstabbings and alliances at a big Danish family gathering.
		Dogme films were flying out of DV cameras at this point and most were slipping under the radar -- until Dogme #12.
		Most of all, the widely varied forms of creativity displayed by the first round of Dogme directors using exactly the same means is definitely an encouragement to any rookie filmmaker with a new DV camera in hand.

		DOGME 95 has the expressed goal of countering “certain tendencies” in the cinema today.

		Props and sets must not be brought in (if a particular prop is necessary for the story, a location must be chosen where this prop is to be found).

		Devised by Lars von Trier and three other Danish directors in the declared aim of “truth,” this set of rules for filmmaking includes such provisions as a ban on props and sets, a ban on “special lighting,” and the requirement that films be in color.
		Describing the premise of The King Is Alive can only make the film sound better and more absurdist than it is. When their bus goes off course because of a defective compass and runs out of gas, a group of Americans and Europeans traveling through the Namibian desert get stranded at a deserted mining town.
		Lear is a logical choice of text for Dogme 95 — the Dogme people might say, with Gloucester: “Our means secure us, and our mere defects/Prove our commodities.” But Levring is not interested in Shakespeare’s play or in the parallels between its characters and his.

		Dogme 95's latest effort, The Reagle Beagle, is a conceptual mini-album, based upon Charles Darwin's trip on the HMS Beagle.
		The brainchild of Nick Wright, these eight songs closely follow the formula of Dogme's debut album, the excellent Acradian Hymns.
		Dogme 95 is not intentionally a conceptual project either, but over the last year, I have certainly found many themes to harbor new material.
