Episode 1 - Rules Can Set You Free

In our first episode, we talk about how rules can set you free. This may sound counterproductive, but Danish filmmaker and provocateur Lars von Trier proved that you can become more creative by restricting yourself. In 1995, Dogme95 was created by fellow Danish filmmakers Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg, Søren Kragh-Jacobsen, and Kristian Levring to limit themselves on a film production.

Some of the rules were:

• The camera must be handheld.
• Actors have to wear their own clothes.
• Filming must be done on location.

By using the strict 10 rules the directors could concentrate more on the actors and the film and not wait for technical departments like camera, lighting and wardrobe.
