Thomas Vinterberg (born 19 May 1969) is a Danish film director known for Festen (1998) and later films including The Hunt and Another Round.

Co-founder of the Dogme95 movement with Lars von Trier. Directed Festen (Dogme #1). His film Another Round (Un altro giro) won the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film (2021).

Three DeBaser reviews praise Vinterberg's strong, uncompromising dramas from Dogme-era Festen to The Hunt (Il sospetto) and the Oscar-winning Another Round (Un altro giro). Reviews highlight moral complexity, stark realism, sharp use of photography and performances (notably Mads Mikkelsen). The coverage leans toward serious appreciation with cultural and philosophical readings.

For:Art-house film fans, students of film, readers interested in Dogme95 and contemporary Danish cinema

 "Festen - Dogme 1" (The Celebration), a film dating back to 1998, besides being the remarkable and unsettling and intriguing debut work of the young Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg, is to all effects the first concrete and real cinematic chapter spawned by the uncompromising film movement called "Dogma95" (also known as the ‘Vow of Chastity’ due to an unyielding yet curious decalogue * that charted its daring theoretical-creative coordinates), signed by the talented filmmaker Lars Von Trier, in collaboration with a handful of independent and courageous/visionary cine-creators from the mid-'90s.
