"The Name of this Film is Dogme95" is an irreverent documentary examining the beginnings of Dogme95, a highly influential movement in global cinema for a decade. It recounts how a group of four Danish directors, guided by a radical Manifesto, challenged and inspired filmmakers and audiences worldwide. The Dogme95 rules stripped filmmaking down to essentials: stories must be contemporary, filmed on location with handheld cameras using natural light and direct sound, and avoid common action movie elements like murder and weapons. Perhaps most notably, the director must remain uncredited – a rule followed by the filmmaker of this documentary itself.
