ARTISTS AND DOCUMENTARIES

Art and film media are one of the main vehicles to express important messages to the public. Many artists have chosen this vehicle to create awareness around eating disorders. We’re proud to feature some of these artists at this year’s Evening Under the Stars… 

DOCUMENTARIES and FILMS:

Wonderful, Wonderful … a 17-minute short film on Sarah Heer, an adolescent girl who chooses anorexia to fill the void in her life. Willing to risk her friends, family, and even her life for her new obsession, she finds that in the end, her goal for perfection leaves her even more empty. Created and Directed by Trey Chace.

Film Teaser:  www.ologyproductions.com/movies/wonderfulSmall.mov

This film will be showing at 5:00pm and 7:00pm

Other documentaries and films include:

Dove Self-Esteem Campaign

Body Speaks: Finding a Voice Through Art Therapy, The Allasso Foundation

ART EXHIBITS:

The works of artist Janna Stern is featured through "Measure for Measure: An Artistic Exploration on the Mythology of Eating Disorders" In this exhibit, Stern uses her experience in digital art to "articulate the forces at work in eating disorders." According to "Eating Disorder Awareness and Prevention," five to ten million adolescent girls and women, and 1 million boys and men struggle with eating disorders and borderline conditions -- a sum total that triples the number of people living with AIDS in the United States  www.jannastern.com
