Large-format photographer Alec Soth travels across America to document people who have retreated from society and the places they hide. Some subjects live in abandoned mountain cabins, others in caves and others still in the desolation of the desert. Soth immortalizes hermits, monks, conspiracy theorists, gay spiritualists and survivalists while on the hunt for his fantasy hideout, a dream refuge. Screenings in Toronto and New York.
