Beneficial Shock! Issue 1 (Food) is available now on loremnotipsum.com and features work by Jay Wright, Dave Biskup, Eleanor Shakespeare, Gary Embury and Jakob Hinrichs lending their penmanship to features on surreal food in Roald Dahl films, food fights from east European art-house cinema and a theoretical treatise on the digestive process of Hitchcock’s Psycho. Alongside these more meaty features are a bevvy of graphic novels, mock adverts and an abridged history of cinema’s most humble snack: popcorn.
Food doesn’t just fill our bellies, it is labored over, passionately discussed and is the diverse glue that binds many families and communities together. But, as we’ll see, it is also on occasion used as the basis of alien artillery, stepped on, penetrated, stabbed and thrown. Oh, and lest we forget, we are food too. Let the banquet begin!
Beneficial Shock! are unconventional cinematic adventures.
