Out of Frame, a short film by Yorgos Zois

This short film uses the empty billboards in Greece to illustrate not only the ongoing social and financial collapse, but also people’s bare inner world. While actually the result of an advertising ban, the numerous empty frames became a message themselves, directly reflecting people’s blank state of mind, and their sentimental void and solitary existence. They became contemporary monuments, carrying a virtual message: we are out of frame.

The film was nominated for Best Short film of the European Film Academy Awards in 2012.
