Dimension is a 2010 Danish unfinished gangster film written and directed by Lars von Trier.[2] Production began in 1990, and the film was shot in over six years from 1991 until production ended in 1997. The original intention was to continue production in four-minute segments every year for a period of 33 years, with a final release in 2024. The unfinished film, released on DVD in 2010, consists of the completed footage as a short film.[3]
