Am I making my own art?No—am I living my own life?

In 1995, in Denmark, Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg launched a film movement, setting out rules that championed location shooting, natural light and handheld cameras while restricting artificial music and special effects: the ten-rule ‘Vow of Chastity’. It was the beginning of the famous ‘Dogma 95’.

In 2027, the independent publisher Oblique pays homage to their pure spirit of artistic ‘independence’.
