Tom Tykwer, Nora Fingscheidt, Ilker Catak, Kurdwin Ayub and Helene Hegemann have all signed up to a German version of the Dogma filmmaking initiative, unveiled today in Cannes.
The initiative will see each filmmaker make a film under low-budget Dogma principles, which follow 10 filmmaking rules.
The German Dogma programme has been put together by Tykwer’s German production company X Filme Creative Pool and its distribution arm X Verleih; Catak’s if… Productions; Denmark’s Zentropa – which formed both the original Dogme 95 and last year’s Dogma 25; Zentropa-formed sales company TrustNordisk; and the Moin Film Fund Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein.
The announcement arrives three days after Netflix was announced as a co-financing and distribution partner on all five Nordic Dogma 25 films. Isabella Eklof unveiled details on first title Mr. Nawashi at the Five Nordics press conference on Wednesday 13.
