‘I Substitute’ is a personal, experimental film – one woman's attempt to express her experience of anorexia nervosa.
The film was made because of my own experiences of anorexia, in relation to developing as an individual/woman in this society ... also because I feel that substituting an obsession with the body and with food for a deeper less tangible problem is a very widespread activity. The media in general seem to sensationalise the subject without any understanding from the inside.
– Harriet McKern
