Wikipedia article




'Offscreen' is a 2006 Danish film directed by Christoffer Boe, who also wrote the screenplay together with Knud Romer Jrgensen. With an odd mixture of fiction and reality, it tells the peculiar story of a man who films himself for a whole year in a quest for invisibility. When he is inevitably caught on camera, however, he takes his own life, causing the movie to take on the fictional aspect of a documentary. When combined with the plight of the homeless, the film can also be a meditation on the difficulties of facing the stranger.
