A pay-what-you-can screening at the New Haven Free Public Library. Disconnect Me examines the ever-pervasive role of technology in our lives. Alex Lykos (Alex & Eve, Me & My Left Brain), disconnects from his smartphone, indeed all of his devices, for a full 30 days.

How will he and those around him react? What will be the effects on his life?

Specifically made for the cinema, Disconnect Me is a fresh interactive film which encourages audiences to engage with the film in real time using their smartphones.Virtual Q&A with the film’s director Alex Lykos moderated by NHdocs’ Faith Marek immediately follows the screening.
