Appetite & Its Others
A striving of the mind as much as of the body, appetite is the driving force of our personal and collective lives, and due to its relative and socially mediated nature, it is always entangled with its opposites such as disgust, repulsion, and revolt. What we hunger for is never independently determined; the shape of our desire is formed through the desires of others and how we associate with them. The three films in our series look at the dynamic relationship between appetite (in its various forms such as consumerist desire, greed, and political conviction) and its others (addiction, manipulation, excess, starvation.)
