Fall Film Series: Eat Your Heart Out

Thursday, November 30 at 8pm

A mixture of playful and political films relating to the topic of food and eating, the evening will begin with a handful of short films including Food, three delicious vignettes in which Jan Svankmajer animates human vending machines and humorously explores cannibalism, and Bestial Comforts by the inimitable George Kuchar.

The recent documentary The Future of Food will be the evening’s main course, providing an interesting and informative perspective on genetically engineered foods; and for dessert, we’ll watch Todd Haynes’ Superstar, and oddly moving bio-pic of the anorexic 70’s icon Karen Carpenter, re-enacted with Barbie dolls on shoebox-diorama sets.

A potluck of Thanksgiving leftovers will accompany the screening.
