INDOGMA FILM FESTIVAL has its roots in the influential filmmaking movement called "Dogme 95." In 1995, Danish directors Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg initiated Dogme 95 by creating the "Dogme 95 Manifesto" and the "Vows of Chastity." These guidelines emphasized traditional storytelling values, authentic acting, and thematic depth while excluding the use of elaborate special effects or technology. The movement aimed to empower directors as artists, reclaiming their creative control from the studios.
The fusion of the Dogme movement with its Indian origins gave rise to the name INDOGMA for this festival. It was conceived as an initiative by Mr. Chandan Mehta, an esteemed Indian Film Producer, Director, and owner of Cinemehta Productions, along with Mr. Mukesh Gambhir, Director of NGF Radio, Faridabad. Their vision was to create an international platform for short filmmakers in India and around the world.
Since its inception in 2018, INDOGMA FILM FESTIVAL has grown to become a vibrant celebration of independent cinema, offering opportunities for emerging talents to showcase their work and connect with industry professionals. With a foundation rooted in the spirit of Dogme 95 and a commitment to nurturing creativity, the festival has become a significant event in the film industry.
Join us at INDOGMA FILM FESTIVAL 2023 as we continue to honor the origins of Dogme 95 and celebrate the diverse voices and storytelling traditions of cinema.
