Disconnect

About This Movie

So, 'Disconnect' (2020) is this intriguing documentary that feels like a real-time reflection of our current, chaotic world. The short film is actually part of a larger project where seven directors, all known for their unique visions, shot pieces from home, which adds a really raw, personal touch. You can see their individual styles blend with the themes of isolation and connection—or the lack thereof. The pacing varies, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere at times. The practical effects are minimal, relying on the authenticity of the directors' environments and their storytelling. It’s not just a collection of shorts; it’s commentary on our new realities, inspired by a literary work, which gives it an interesting depth. Definitely a distinct entry in the documentary genre.

Commissioned by Thessaloniki International Film Festival · Inspired by 'Species of Spaces' by Georges Perec · Features seven diverse directors
