Dogme 95

For the Dogme 95 film-makers, the film text can get close to some sort of social and political truth but to do so must avoid all the artificial techniques employed by much of mainstream cinema. The Dogme quest is for an authentic cinema in an entertainment landscape made up of artifice. Their Vow of Chastity implies that the least amount of technological intervention in the film-making process makes for a more honest, realistic aesthetic.
