Nothing like rules for spurring creativity. Waiting for the manual next.

#22>The film must be shot where the narrative takes place. This one really stands out by exculding whole genres and not really adding anything interesting to work around.
Which genres would that be? One could also argue that certain genres simply won't ever work as an arthouse movie.

Space opera, high fantasy and bangsian fantasy are three that come to mind.

It kind of protects against low budget sci-fi I guess, which could be a net good thing. Under the rules you could attempt to shoot Resident Alien, but not Star Trek.
I've seen good, low-budget indie sci-fi short films that would presumably meet all of the Dogma 25 rules. So I think it doesn't protect against this category of films and neither would that be a good thing anyways. It just requires creative solutions if you want to e.g. portrait space travel.

I could see bangsian fantasy work if the afterlife were to be located on earth (which opens up some narrative possibilities, though they're a bit unoriginal). The other two are predicated upon portraying their locations inauthentically, which conflicts with the rules Dogme 25 strives to follow.

Makes sense because it's similar to one of the ones from Dogme95 which explicitly excluded genre files.

My brain is bleeding after reading this strange ass manifesto.

I believe red and black theme is an artistic choice. Sadly, readability suffers from this choice. Just making the text bold makes it a lot better while preserving its spirit.

Deliberately imposing constraints on yourself is actually a very well-established way to spur creativity and innovation. For example this movement was inspired by something similar from back in the 1990s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogme_95

#30I wonder if they would accept a CGI movie entirely set within a computer, nothing in the rules seem to prohibit it :).
