| description | The development of queer theory has motivated a growing number of cinematic offerings to
move beyond conservative, outdated representational strategies of the past by expanding the
range of sexual orientations, sexual practices, and preferred ways of being that historically
have remained largely concealed from viewers. Although various forms of ‗kinky‘ sexual
practices have increasingly been incorporated into films in recent years, the topic of fat
fetishism has only incredibly rarely been explicitly represented and remains one of
ignorance to many audience members. Accordingly, this article provides a representational
analysis of intriguing twenty-first-century portrayals of fat fetishism in relation to the
phenomenon of feederism as contained in the films Feed (Leonard, 2005) and City Island
(De Felitta, 2009). In doing so, it incorporates a queer theoretical perspective in order to
provide insight into real-world sexual phenomena that lie dramatically outside the
mainstream status quo.
