Well this certainly looks like a fascinating documentary. I’m intrigued. Unfortunately there’s no information on the release date. From the film’s website:

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?

Alec Soth is a world renowned photographer best known for his portraits using a large format camera. He is represented by Gagosian Gallery, Westein Gallery, and Magnum Photos. Laure Flamarion and Arnaud Uyttenhove are young European filmmakers who followed Soth over the course of two years.

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

UPDATE: I contacted the film’s website and here’s what they said: “The movie will be screened at Minneapolis International Film Festival on the 2nd of May and at the Hot Docs festival in Toronto on the 5th and 7th of May.

There is no theater release yet but we are working on it and we’ll make sure to let you know as soon as a date is set.”
