Anthony Dod Mantle's first feature behind the camera was Philip Gröning's German "Die Terroristen!" (1992). His first Danish feature was Carsten Rudolf's "The Beast Within," for which he received a Robert Award. He shot Thomas Vinterberg's feature debut "The Greatest Heroes" (1996) before his international breakthrough with Vinterberg's "The Celebration" (1998), followed by Søren Kragh-Jacobsen's "Mifune," which along with the other early Dogme films made the hand-held digital camera fashionable. The collaboration with Vinterberg continued with "It's All About Love" (2002), "Dear Wendy" (2005) and "When a Man Comes Home" (2007).

He used the seminal Red One digital camera on the British TV series "Wallander" (2008-) – the first British television production to do so – and won a BAFTA for his cinematography on the first two episodes.

Dod Mantle worked with Lars von Trier on the visual radical "Dogville" (2003), "Manderlay" (2005) and "Antichrist" (2009) and British Danny Boyle on "Vacuuming Completely Nude in Paradise" (2001), "28 Days Later" (2002), "Millions" (2004), "Slumdog Millionaire" (2009), "127 Hours" (2010), "Trance" (2013) and "T2 Trainspotting" (2017).
