Dogme Uncut

Written with humor and insight, this mixture of history, analysis, and reportage sheds fascinating insider light on the eight-year-old Dogme film movement, examining the subject from multiple perspectives. Covered in detail is Dogme's genesis, when, in 1995, Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier, acclaimed director of
Breaking the Waves
and
Dancer in the Dark
, and three fellow Danish directors swore to reject the norm of slick, emotionally manipulative, high-concept, and bombastic movie productions. Explained is the Dogme95 philosophy, which entails a return to basic filmmaking through the use of natural lighting and handheld cameras, and the refusal to use special effects, soundtracks, and movie sets. The films and filmmakers of the Dogme movement are discussed, including Thomas Vinterberg (
The Celebration
), Harmony Korine (
Julien Donkey-Boy
), Lone Scherfig (
Italian for Beginners
), and Susanne Bier (
Open Hearts
). Dogme's debt to previous film waves is explored, as is the impact Dogme has had on current trends in cinema and on today's young filmmakers.

Forest Of The Pygmies

Alexander Cold finds himself on another exciting adventure with his grandmother, journalist Kate Cold, and his good friend, Nadia Santos. A report on an environmentally-oriented elephant safari is the focus of their last-minute trip to Kenya. Just before joining the safari, Alex and Nadia visit a voodoo priestess in a colorful local market, who delivers a warning that their survival depends on their staying together. The purpose of this ominous advice is clear when an impromptu trip to save two missionaries crash-lands them in a forest where they uncover a hidden world of enslaved Pygmies, evil sorcery, and rampant brutality. Closely in touch with their totemic animal spirits, Jaguar and Eagle, Alex and Nadia will have to call on them in a heroic attempt to free the Pygmies. The final, gripping book in a trilogy that includes THE CITY OF BEASTS and THE KINGDOM OF THE GOLDEN DRAGON.
