No Internet Week
Five self-described digital natives agree to give up the internet for five days, and the film follows what happens when the phones, laptops, and Wi-Fi routers go dark. Cameras catch the immediate fallout: boredom, restlessness, and the reflexive urge to check a screen that isn't there, followed by the slower adjustments as each participant finds something else to fill the hours. Interviews with the group track the mood swings in real time, from irritation and withdrawal-like symptoms in the first couple of days to moments of genuine relief once the itch fades. The film treats the experiment less as a stunt and more as a case study in habit and dependency, asking what these five actually do with their attention once it's no longer being pulled toward a feed. It's a small, low-key experiment rather than a sweeping expose, but the participants' own reactions, caught on camera as they happen, make the case better than any narrator could.
