CINEMA THAT CAME IN FROM THE COLD
3 `DOGMA 95´ FILMS TO DOWNLOAD
 
Deserving special mention is Cold Fever, a thematic series dedicated to cinema from the Nordic countries, from which an innovative movement came out of the Dogma 95 manifesto. These films have a contained appearance which hide intense personal dramas and explore an image freed from conventions. The main driver of the movement has been master of ceremonies Lars Von Trier. In this series in San Sebastian, some thirty films in this movement coming out of Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland since 1995 are being shown.

The movement has also had an impact on Spanish filmmaking through the work of Juan Pinzás, director who has received three Dogma Diplomas given out by Lars Von Trier himself for the three films we offer you below here on filmotech.com.
