6 years ago, Danish directors Lars von Trier and Thomas Winterberg signed their “vow of chastity” and so began a new film wave known as Dogme 95. This dogma established a new genre of fiction film with particular rules[no music, no lights] and a strong documentary touch. FreeDogme examines this movement from a directors point of view. In different parts of the world, the participating filmmakers—Lars von Trier, Wim Wenders, Jean-Marc Barr, Lone Scherfig—talk to each other and, Dogme-style, film themselves… These self-portraits are edited according to the conversation led by the Swedish film critic Marie Berthelius. The result is a very special debate between committed filmmakers.
