I hate to correct people, but
Festen is the first Dogma 95 movie, and was made by Thomas Vinterberg and not Trier, a co-founder of the Dogme movement.
Awesome film, one of my favourites, it's hard to believe that the harsh rules of the Dogma were respected in the making of this movie (well not all of them, as it was finally signed by Vinterberg, instead of remaining anonymous).
