Eating with Your Eyes
By Charlotte Stace
The CCCB welcomes ‘Eating With Your Eyes’ as part of its ‘Cinema For All The Family’ screening series.
As part of this selection of “tasty” films, we will see rebellious oranges, slices of bread that climb the walls, sandwiches made of rags, a pear that turns into a dinosaur, a pie war and a runaway mango, among many other things. Sweet and savoury, animation and real action, films from a hundred years ago and more recent ones, breakfasts and snacks of images and sounds for all tastes. They come together on screen as a way of inviting us to eat with our eyes.
Some of the program’s highlights include: Orange, Al Jarnow, United States, (1982); Farmer McFay Counts 6 Fruits, William Wegman, United States (1993); 12 breakfasts, Johanna Thompson, Germany, (2021); and Desayunos y meriendas, David Domingo, Spain (2002).
