| Summary: | The short film 'Connecting by Disconnecting' gives a glimpse into the daily lives of the Dutch off-gridders Alowieke and Liesbeth. Their houses are not connected to the grid which means they have to provide for their own electricity and water. On the one hand, being off-grid allows them to live more independent lifestyles. On the other hand, it makes them more aware of their connection to their local environments. From January to March, the filmmaker visited Alowieke and Liesbeth regularly and explored their quest for environmental sustainability by off-grid living through an observational film style. |
