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.
A short film by Yorgos Zois, titled Titloi Telous (Out of Frame) was included in the Orizzonti section of the 69th Venice International Film Festival, which began on August 29 and is scheduled to run until September 8. An insider's peek says the film was shot entirely in the urban scenery of Attica and is made up entirely of real life scenes, with no use of script or actors! In fact the small crew filmed sequences at the same spots on different times of the year. Zois had gained international recognition with his first short film, Casus Belli, at the 67th Venice Film Festival, two years ago.
