Off: In English, it means “turned off” or “out.”
In Portuguese, we can use the word “off” to indicate a day without work, that we are on vacation, or that we won’t be answering emails. If we say something “off,” it’s probably confidential information.
OFF explores a universe of invisible things and situations—what is out of frame, hidden, not official, what cannot or does not want to be placed in the center of attention—and engages with situations and objects in a state of absence-presence.
OFF begins with a research on voice-over (voz-off in Portuguese), addressing the concepts of phantasmagoria and spectrality. OFF is a reflection on voice-over as a tool capable of influencing a gaze, manipulating discourse, or altering what we are observing.
OFF questions the way we see the world, what we believe we see, and what we speculate is there, out of frame.

I Am A Girl Without Story
by Alice Zeniter
(BCF, 2024)
Alice Zeniter argues that, from founding myths to coffee discussions and political communication, narrative structures human experience. I Am a Girl Without a Story sets out to unravel the threads of narratology and the power of fiction, in a lecture-book full of fertile paths that bring together Les Misérables and Anna Karénina and the theories of Aristotle, Ursula K. Le Guin, Umberto Eco or Frédéric Lordon.
