Interesting that they only have one rule in common with the predecessor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogme_95
And no signatures in common.
Also: how many films are still produced in line with Dogma 95?

I don't think it's meant as a constraint to be worked around, but as a guardrail against being inauthentic. And it excludes a lot less than its inspiration Dogme 95, which has as one rule "Genre movies are not acceptable."
> "Genre movies are not acceptable." I find that hilarious, like proclaiming that only other people have an ethnicity or an accent. Because of course Dogme is a genre of its own.
Dogme is more of a methodology than genre. Genre usually means settings and tropes, like scifi or horror or superhero.
Though I’d argue that rom-com, period pieces, and biopics also are “genre”, at least to the extent a particular movie just paints by numbers within those styles.

Perhaps Dogme 95/Dogma 25 films are in a genre of their own, but they're not "genre movies." People make the same argument with "literary fiction"/"non-genre fiction" vs "genre fiction." The terms have meaning whether or not you want to acknowledge it.

That said, I'm not sure if new certifications are still being accepted. So there may have been uncertified Dogme95-compliant films made since that was never been in the official list.

#46So this is my art degree coming out, but I feel like invoking the name of Dogma 95 and the "vow of chastity" without what appears to be any of the original people involved or blessing feels a little lame, especially when the actual rules are pretty different from the original. At least, I don't see any indication of like a real personal connection to the original.
I feel like they probably should have come up with a different name and just noted the connection in the manifesto

#47I maybe shouldn't judge their ideas about film by their choice of illegible background and text colors, but I do.
