Question: Do both films Word of God (film) and True Heart Susie have the directors that share the same nationality?

It was shortlisted as one of the three films to be selected as the potential Danish submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards. However," You Disappear" was selected as the Danish entry. Word of God is a 2017 Danish drama film directed by Henrik Ruben Genz. <SEP> Before becoming involved with film, Genz attended Designskolen Kolding, where he studied graphic design, after giving up on an earlier dream of being a painter. While there, he did some work with video, and a chance meeting with director Arne Bro encouraged him to pursue film as a career. Genz was then accepted into the National Film School of Denmark at the age of 31, graduating after completing the well- regarded short film" Cross Roads"( Danish title: Omveje," Detours") in 1995. Genz's next work, the short film" Theis and Nico"( Danish title: Bror, min bror," Brother, my brother"), released in 1999, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. He then became involved with the Dogme 95 movement, but was unable to produce any quality work after six months of effort. Speaking later about his difficulty in trying to work under the Dogme restrictions, he described himself as a" visual director" and Dogme as a movement where" the camera follows the[ actors] and choice means nothing". In 2003, Genz released his first feature film, an adaptation of the children's book" Someone like Hodder"( Danish title:" En som Hodder") by popular writer Bjarne Reuter. He followed it in 2005 with" Chinaman"( Danish title:" Kinamand"), a romantic comedy about a man who takes a foreign wife in an arranged marriage so that she can obtain permission for residency, and then falls in love with her. Genz returned to his roots in 2008, adapting( with Dunja Gry Jensen) a novel by fellow Gram native Erling Jepsen into the film" Terribly Happy". Henrik Ruben Genz( born 7 November 1959 in Gram, Denmark) is a Danish film director. In their youths, Genz and Jepsen had been childhood acquaintances who lived across the street from one another. It won numerous awards, including the Crystal Globe at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. <SEP> Widely considered as the most important filmmaker of his generation, he pioneered the feature- length movie and many enduring cinematic techniques, such as the close- up. His film" The Birth of a Nation"( 1915) broke box- office records but also attracted much controversy, as it depicted African Americans in a negative light and glorified the Ku Klux Klan. " Intolerance"( 1916) was made as an answer to his critics. Several of Griffith's later films were also successful, including" Broken Blossoms"( 1919)," Way Down East"( 1920), and" Orphans of the Storm"( 1921), but the high costs he incurred for production and promotion often led to commercial failure. He had made roughly 500 films by the time of his final feature," The Struggle"( 1931). Together with Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks, he founded United Artists, enabling them to control their own interests, rather than depending on commercial studios. Griffith was a founder member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. David Wark Griffith( January 22, 1875 – July 23, 1948) was an American film director. <SEP> A print of the film survives in the film archive of the British Film Institute. The film has seen several VHS releases as well as a DVD issue. True Heart Susie is a 1919 American drama film directed by D. W. Griffith and starring Lillian Gish. <SEP> Christian Wagner is an American film editor who has edited films such as" Face/ Off"( 1997) and( 2000). He is also best known collaborating numerous times with film director Tony Scott, from the films" True Romance"( 1993) to" Domino"( 2005). <SEP> Matt Corboy( born June 4, 1973) is an American actor. He has appeared in both films and television series.
