Hard Fat

Directed by Frédéric Moffet

Explores gainers, men who intentionally gain weight for their own pleasure and that of others.
Hard Fat is an unusually thoughtful documentary short film about gainers and the relationship between body size, desire and masculinity. Its frankness is valuable, particularly in refusing to treat fatness simply as an insult or pathology. The subject could support even deeper exploration, but the film opens an important and rarely discussed conversation.
