Many find themselves navigating through spaces occupied by people and crowds, yet feeling alone, feeling like an “other”.  Diconnected is a meditation on loneliness and not feeling connected in the modern world, reflected through strangers on a bus.  

Jonathan Chiarle was Akron Soul Train’s 2019 LGBTQ artist-in-residence.  As part of his residence he conducted workshops sharing with others the art of filmmaking.  To kick off his premiere event, Jonathan will begin with a short talk on his process and a showing of a collection of previous work, followed by the premiere of Disconnected.  If time allows, there will be a Q&A session.

Filming was made possible by the generous in-kind donation by Metro RTA Serving Summit County.
