Alec Soth "Somewhere to Disappear"


Somewhere To Disappear is a film about the desire to run away. For his project, “Broken Manual”, the photographer Alec Soth traveled across America looking for people who’ve retreated from society. Some live in mountain cabins, some in caves, others in the desert. Who are these modern hermits? Why do they want to escape? And what is Alec Soth really looking for?

This film is about men, America, Alec Soth and the dream to disappear.


Definitely I'm interested in catching this documentary. Right now it is in very limited release. Pretty much film festivals. May 5th (7 pm) + May 7th (1:15 pm) it'll be screening at HotDocs Festival in Toronto. On May 9th @ 8 pm, it'll be screening at New School in New York. You can check their Facebook or their twitter for screenings updates. Once I find out a Los Angeles screening, I'll post about it.
