The DOGMA Manifesto (1995) and The CONCESSION Manifesto (2001)

Summary/Abstract: In 1995 we stand witness to the release of the DOGMA 95 Manifesto and the THE VOW OF CHASTITY. This is represented by ten rules that shook the film world. The method and spirit of DOGMA are achieved when the director subjects himself to these rules. DOGMA made its mark on the Danish cinema and the international film world as well, by prompting the directors to be spontaneous. In July 2001, I have written the CONCESSION Manifesto. The 13 rules of the this manifesto have resulted from obstacles that I have assumed and not from their enforcement. The CONCESSION Manifesto is not an unworthy copy of THE VOW OF CHASTITY but the result of a Romanian experience in the making of my first long feature film, WATCH IT! (3 PĂZEȘTE), a totally independent project.
