In 1995, von Trier and [[Thomas Vinterberg]] presented their manifesto for a new cinematic movement, which they called [[Dogme 95]]. The Dogme{{nbsp}}95 concept, which led to international interest in [[Danish film]], inspired filmmakers all over the world. It required filmmakers to shirk several common techniques in modern filmmaking, such as studio lighting, sets, costumes, and non-diegetic music.<ref name="Chaudhuri2005">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qOXoeyesZOIC&pg=PA37 |title=Contemporary world cinema: Europe, the Middle East, East Asia and South Asia |last=Chaudhuri |first=Shohini |publisher=Edinburgh University Press |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-7486-1799-9 |page=37 |quote=The Dogme concept has, moreover, spilled across national borders and inspired filmmaking outside Denmark. |access-date=12 October 2010}}</ref> In 2008, together with their fellow Dogme directors [[Kristian Levring]] and [[Søren Kragh-Jacobsen]], von{{nbsp}}Trier and [[Thomas Vinterberg]] received the [[European Film Awards|European film award]] for [[Outstanding European Achievement in World Cinema|European Achievement in World Cinema]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Archive - European Film Awards - EFA Night 2008 |url=https://europeanfilmawards.eu/en_EN/archive/2008/winner |access-date=2024-02-26 |website=europeanfilmawards.eu}}</ref>
