What it’s about. How can one film nothing, how to depict infinity in a film? A camera pointed towards the sky registers one such attempt. The infinite sky in the frame is seen precisely that way – like nothing, a film stripe worn out, empty surface, 0 (zero). The hand holding the camera is trying to keep the slide in the same motionless position. At one point, the camera slightly moves to the left out of fatigue. A roof with a chimney appears in the bottom left hand corner – the only part of the scene which inadvertently reveals the attempt and the wish – how to film nothing.

How it landed. With an audience score of 4.0/10, 0 has proved divisive with audiences.
