Exploring Eating Disorders in Film: An Online Discussion

In honor of Eating Disorder Awareness Month, join us for a public online discussion group dedicated to exploring how films address eating disorders. This event provides a unique opportunity to examine the portrayal of these complex and often misunderstood conditions through the lens of cinema, fostering awareness and empathy.

The meeting will begin with a brief presentation offering essential context about eating disorders, their impact, and common misconceptions. Participants will receive this information in advance to help ground the discussion. From there, the session will open up for sharing and dialogue, inviting attendees to reflect on specific films that have tackled the subject, both effectively and critically.

This event is a chance to connect with others, share perspectives, and deepen understanding of eating disorders and their representation in media. Whether you’re a film enthusiast, advocate, or someone seeking insight, your voice is welcome as we come together to honor stories that shed light on these important issues.
