Abstract

Believing that the film industry is getting worse by utilizing simple plots and only emphasizing on the editing and the cosmetics, European filmmakers and theorists make their own style of realistic film movements as a reaction to Hollywood’s mainstream filmmaking style. One of which is the famed Dogme 95 Manifesto film movement in Denmark propagated by Lars von Trier. Dogme 95 Manifesto is a set of rules that needs to be followed by filmmakers in order to make a Dogme film. It is believed that by following this rule will restrain the filmmakers’ creativity, focusing more on the realism inside the film, and “purifying” the film industry. In this paper, we analyze realism in Dogme 95 through one of its successful milestones: The Celebration by Thomas Vinterburg through its cinematography and Dogme 95 rules within the film. We argue that as opposed to bringing realistic images on the screen, The Celebration brings atmospheric realism by providing a consistent feel of ‘relatability’ and presence inside the story to the spectators.

Abstract

This article examines how gender is constructed, communicated, and historically transformed in Javanese wayang wong through a network of simultaneous semiotic channels. The communication phenomenon at the center of the study is the persistence of cross-gender performance in a traditional theatrical form whose meanings are shaped not only by bodily signs, costume, vocality, and spatial arrangement, but also by Javanese cosmology and changing political contexts. Using a qualitative design based on documentary research and textual analysis, the study draws on ethnographic studies, historical accounts, performance documentation, and heritage records related to wayang wong in Central Java. The analysis combines theatre semiotics, gender performativity theory, and postcolonial historical interpretation, with data organized through movement, costume, vocal, spatial, and contextual sign systems. The findings show that gender in wayang wong is communicated as an embodied cultural language rather than a fixed biological category, and that the alus/kasar cosmological framework is more decisive than the female/male binary in organizing meaning. Practically, the study supports more contextual interpretation, preservation, and performance pedagogy in traditional arts. Its limitation lies in the reliance on documentary rather than field-based audience data, while its originality lies in positioning cross-gender performance as a historically dynamic communication system grounded in local cosmology rather than merely as theatrical role reversal.
