Answer

I'm not a native speaker but I want to try. 
In this sentence you could use 'from' as well, but they are not the same.
 'Out of' is used when you want to express the action of exiting from something, whereas 'from' is used to tell the provenance, the source of something. 
In those two examples they are not replaceable:
-let's get out of here (you can't say let's get from here )
-I'm from Turin (I'm not expressing the action of coming out from it, that's only my provenance. )
