Imagine a day without a smartphone-when time slows down and miraculous, unexpected moments unfold. Acclaimed filmmaker Tiffany Shlain gathers a group of storytellers, including artist and professor Ken Goldberg and Rabbi Sydney Mintz, for a boisterous night of tales and confessions about wrestling with screen addictions, including some strategies (like no screens for Shabbat) to mindfully co-exist with technology in our 24/7 world.
Honored by Newsweek as one of the "Women Shaping the 21st Century," Tiffany Shlain is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker, an author, and the founder of The Webby Awards. Selected by the Albert Einstein Foundation to be part of the initiative Genius: 100 Visions of the Future, Shlain's films (including The Tribe and Making of a Mensch) and other work have received over eighty awards and distinctions, and several of her films have premiered at The Sundance Film Festival. Her new book 24/6: The Power of Unplugging one Day a Week (Simon & Schuster, 2019) examines a family's decade-long ritual of turning off screens one day each week for what they call their "Technology Shabbats."
