Weighty Proposition: Films about Fatness, Bodies and Food
Filmmakers and Video Artists are invited to submit films of any length to be screened as part of “Weighty Proposition: Films about Fatness, Bodies and Food.” What is it about a fat body that is scary, beautiful, bold, invisible, revolutionary, obscene? Why do our bodies become sites for debate, confusion, angst and exaltation? How do we come to our individual and cultural understanding of that universal question: Do you eat to live, or live to eat? We are looking for films that document fat positive movement building, that challenge our conceptions of fatness, that create new paradigms for beauty, that consider relationships between size, race, class and gender, that explore food and consumption, and that (most of all) express something fresh and new about fatness, bodies, and food.
Films will be juried by the film series coordinator, Sara Zia Ebrahimi, and filmmaker Naima Lowe. Films not selected for the screening may be considered for future screenings throughout the year.
