Danish and Swedish film-makers have revived the avant-garde Dogme 95 movement, now called Dogme 25, with a manifesto for the internet age. They commit to creating five films in a year without using the internet or emails, highlighting human creativity against the backdrop of algorithm-driven cinema. Founded by May el-Toukhy and supported by prominent figures from the original Dogme movement, the initiative addresses rising costs in filmmaking post-Covid and advocates for the preservation of arthouse cinema as it remains essential for mainstream originality.
Dogme 25 promotes a return to film-making purity by avoiding internet tools, emphasizing human creativity, and plans to produce five original films in a year.
The film-makers of Dogme 25 stress the importance of arthouse cinema, claiming its decline threatens originality in mainstream films, echoing a cultural rescue mission.
