Dogme
What are Dogme movies? Thanks.
share[deleted]
As I just posted in another thread, these are the ten rules of dogme:
1. Shooting must be done on location. 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).
2. The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa. (Music must not be used unless it occurs where the scene is being shot).
3. The camera must be hand-held. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted. (The film must not take place where the camera is standing; shooting must take place where the film takes place).
4. The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable. (If there is too little light for exposure the scene must be cut or a single lamp be attached to the camera).
5. Optical work and filters are forbidden.
6. The film must not contain superficial action. (Murders, weapons, etc. must not occur.)
7. Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden. (That is to say that the film takes place here and now.)
8. Genre movies are not acceptable.
9. The film format must be Academy 35 mm.
10. The director must not be credited.
a anti-artistic group of "film makers" (if you can call them such) who make films by a simple rule: they should not be art

Man, that's the stupidest damn thing I've ever heard.
sharehave you actually read their proclame?
well ill quote it for you:
"Furthermore I swear as a director to refrain from personal taste! I am no longer an artist. I swear to refrain from creating a "work", as I regard the instant as more important than the whole...blablabla...I swear to do so by all the means available and at the cost of any good taste and any aesthetic considerations."
any doubts about their tendency against art?
btw, read in their web page the blablabla part, i sincerelly think its pure crap, like most of their ideals and methods.

Whilst I think the dogme rules are rather a little silly, I think that some of the films are good and they achieve what dogme sets out to achieve which is to bring the storyline and narrative forwarda above all else. Films these days can be so disguised in special effects and the "cosmetics" of cinema that they lose the real narrative. Dogme95 is about telling stories without all the distractions of artistic camera work and it works well. Dogme films are full of great characters and human stories, I recommend Festen it's the first and best dogme film.
shareI read somewhere that the rules came about during a drunken lark. They aren't that serious about them... just the result they procure. Just like the Von in Lars Von Trier is actually a joke, much of the content of the manifesto is intentionally silly. His name is Lars Trier. These guys have a great sense of humour and i think this apparent in their manifesto, it is kind of amusing and meant to annoy certain paranoid sections of the art world, particularly aspects of the American fraternity who are seemingly obsessed with the artist rather than art and hence it is an affront to suggest the director is not the artist.
But the thing is, in the end they do produce some pretty damned good art.... as this film shows.
