Abstract
This article draws on a range of approaches in Film and Media Studies — including phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and reception studies — as well as autobiographical experience, in order to ruminate on the functions and effects of eating at the movies. Looking at the connections between viewing and eating, the author argues that the materiality of the food we eat acts as a mediating or transitional object between our viewing bodies and the fleeting images projected on screen. In fact, eating at the movies, as a lived experience of the scholar—viewer, is also a means of connecting often divergent critical practices.
