Advance Party is the name given to a concept of three films which are all to follow a set of rules proposed by executive producers Gillian Berrie, Lone Scherfig and Anders Thomas Jensen.
The concept came out of discussion between Lars von Trier, Berrie, Scherfig and Jensen.
The production companies Sigma Films (Glasgow) and Zentropa (Denmark) are behind the concept.
Red Road was the first film in the trilogy to be released in 2006, directed by Andrea Arnold (Glasgow).
The second, directed by Morag McKinnon (Glasgow), Donkeys, was completed and released in 2010[2] and Mikkel Nørgaard's (Copenhagen) film is reportedly in "development limbo".
