Year Zero - OFFF Barcelona 2011 Main Titles

Following in the footsteps of Prologue Films and The Mill, PostPanic have created this year’s prestigious opening titles ‘Year Zero’ for OFFF Festival 2011 in Barcelona offf.ws/​bcn2011/​

Written by Mischa Rozema and British graphic designer, Si Scott, the opening titles reflect their dark thoughts on a possible future. Directed by Mischa and shot on location in Prague, the film guides the viewer through a grim scenario embedded with the names of artists appearing at this year’s OFFF festival.

The live action was brought back to Amsterdam for post, primarily carried out by PostPanic’s in-house team of artists but also with the additional help of freelancers and partner companies that we have enjoyed strong creative relationships with over the years. It’s really fair to say that this was a labour of love by a passionate crew of people.
