Part of a wider curatorial research project led by film programmer Leo Krenzer, join us for two screenings in which we revisit and rediscover the Danish film movement known as Dogme 95.
Saturday 14th November 6pm
Mifune’s Last Song + Introduction with Film Curator Leo Krenzer
Sunday 29th November 3pm
The Five Obstructions + Q&A with Film Curator Leo Krenzer and University of Oxford Film Studies Professor Nikolaj Lübecker
The wider UK programme includes 35mm screenings of Thomas Vinterberg’s Festen at the Cinema Museum in London on 4th November and Harmony Korine’s Julien Donkey-Boy at the same venue on 2nd December. Lone Scherfig’s Italian for Beginners will also screen at the Rio Cinema in Dalston on 11 November.
Kresten returns to his family’s ruined farm after his father’s death, with a suspicious wife, a brother in the garden and old enemies in the yard. Søren Kragh-Jacobsen’s Dogme 95 dark comedy won the Silver Bear (Special Jury Prize) at Berlin in 1999.
Lars von Trier challenges Jørgen Leth to remake his 1967 short The Perfect Human five times, each under stricter rules than the last. The result is part documentary, part game, and a sharp, funny portrait of two very different filmmakers.
Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
