Carl Theodor Dreyer (1889-1968) is Danish cinema's most celebrated director and is still, to this day, an inspiration to artists, filmmakers and audiences worldwide.

In this video James Schamus (producer on several Ang Lee films and author of "Carl Theodor Dreyer's Gertrud - The Moving Word") talks about Dreyer creating great works of art without ever being head of a movement or a new wave or dogma.
Carl Theodor Dreyer is the maker of "La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc", "Vampyr", "The Word", "Gertrud" and other classics.
