Invitation to Thomas Vinterberg
Vital Danish filmmaker and founding member of the Dogme 95 movement with Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg affirms a real presence in the cinematographic landscape. His début feature film (The Celebration) - first of the Dogme - was rewarded at the Cannes Film Festival in 1998. Both in his words and his behaviour, he creates films that jostle us. Lumière will premiere his new film, Another Round, starring the stirring Mads Mikkelsen.

Drunk by Thomas Vinterberg (Druk, 2020, 1h55)
Encouraged by a theory according to which a slight drunkenness can open the mind to the world around us, Martin (Mads Mikkelsen) and three of his high school teacher friends launch into the experiment... An ethically incorrect film, funny yet screaming in despair.
