Via Robot Wisdom, a link to a New York Observer article on the "Dogma Vow of Chastity", a manifesto by a bunch of Danish filmmakers asking:

"stating that films must use hand-held cameras; all shooting must be done on location; off-camera music is prohibited; and any superficial action in the plot, such as murders, must be avoided. Most perplexing at all for an industry where egotism is a prized asset, the director of a Dogma film cannot be credited."

Not sure I'm for the credited thing, but the other parts could lead to some interesting films, for a change.
