SEPT 4th, 22:30 – 23:30
CINÉMA ELVIRE POPESCO
A dining room transformed into an opportunity for virtuosity in movement- colorful sweets that trigger internal conflicts, a cafe that becomes a pretext for interaction, visions of colorful vegetables that sing and dance. This year's musical competition centres around full tables. The four short films humorously use food as a pretext for starting a conversation about the negative attitudes we have towards our bodies, the social anxiety we sometimes battle with, and the unjustified way in which we let ourselves be guided by appearances.

Glittering socialite Laura starts slipping from the daily reality of a weight obsessed rich man's mistress. While on a fancy dinner with her gluttonous lover she enters a strange world where food dances and sings. The whirlwind of dance blows the air out of Laura's head and she becomes a different type of girl... How people treat each other is mirrored in the way we treat our environment and our food. That's why “Eat me” focuses on our attitude to food, its dubious contents and food waste through the prism of a skewed relationship.
