...power? After all, it wasn't the first wave of cinematic minimalism: the Italian neorealists in the 1940s, like Vittorio De Sica and Roberto Rossellini, insisted on shooting on location, often using nonprofessional actors and live sound; so, too, did the auteurs of the French New Wave in the 1960s (from which Dogme borrows some ideas). And at first, nobody but its creators took Dogme seriously - it took three years for a Dogme film to actually hit screens. But when one finally did (Vinterberg's The Celebration), it went off to Cannes and came back a hit. The tale...
...individuals of a certain—in this case racial or ethnic—group separate themselves from the community at large and study, hang out, and party primarily with other individuals of that group. Unlike the segregation that was forced on African-Americans in the South before the 1960s, self-segregation is instituted voluntarily by the members of the affected group.

...Canberra's newish national museum has an eclectic permanent collection, mixing exhibits that tell bits of the story so far. There are galleries devoted to indigenous peoples, British settlement, immigration, and 1960s suburbia - where you will find a display recreating the kitchen-and-backyard idyll that nurtured the baby boomers. Looming large in this time capsule is a petrol-powered, rotary-engine Victa lawnmower and, tucked inside a cupboard, a Sunbeam Mixmaster. The two products speak of a time of rising prosperity in which Australians aspired to a house on a quarter-acre block, children played in the backyard after...
