Hello Europe is a plan by charming Belgian suburbanites Senne Dahandschutter, Majd Khalifeh and Mathias Brouns to instal large outdoor webcam screens in various cities around Europe.

Every half hour, screens refresh, connecting randomly to a new screen on the network, – a kind of street furniture Chatroulette.

The potential for creativity and abuse is vast and wonderful.

What you may need to know:

1. First came Before Sunrise (1995), then came Before Sunset (2004), now Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy complete the trilogy.

2. The premise: Ethan and Julie go for a long walk, and talk about life, love and getting on. It’s better than we’re making it sound. Before Sunset, in particular is a bit of a classic.

3. The first Before… took in Vienna, the second was set in Paris – this time out it’s Greece.

4. Ethan Hawke went from Gen X pretty boy to hollow-cheeked indie polymath; last year he had a hit movie (Sinister) and got cut out of the Total Recall remake.

5. Slacker maven Richard Linklater has been out of vogue of late; we’re still big fans. His other newish movie, Bernie (2011), starring Jack Black and Matthew McConaughey, is superb.
