OUT OF FRAME a short film by Yorgos Zois

Film

Synopsis
In Greece the advertisement in exterior billboards has been recently forbidden. As a result there are hundreds of empty frames that don't carry any messages. But the empty frames are now the message. And we are out of frame.

Director's note
The empty frames above our heads, picture not only the current social and financial collapse, but at the same time they portray our bare inner world.
They directly reflect our blank state of mind, our sentimental void and solitary existence. The empty frames are the contemporary monuments.

Greece, 2012, 10 min, DCP
