Short description

Dogville: The Pilot was shot during 2001 in the pre-production phase to test whether the concept of chalk lines and sparse scenery would work. The 15-minute pilot film starred Danish actors Sidse Babett Knudsen (as Grace) and Nikolaj Lie Kaas (as Tom).

What's left behind the scenes

This Dogville test was made in 2001 during the preliminary stage of creating the film "Dogville" (2003) to test the script and how the backup sets would work. Ultimately, Lars von Trier was satisfied with the overall result, and together with the producers, they decided to move forward with the feature film.
