Abstract
More than forty years after the publication of Holbrook and Hirschman’s (1982) classic paper, this paper exam-ines film consumption during difficult time, with specific consideration of film consumption and COVID-19. The paper demonstrates the value of understanding how people experience films in times of crisis and that despite the decades that have passed, that there is still much to know about the what of experience in terms of experiential art consumption. The paper highlights the benefits of escaping through art at times of difficulty, but equally the need to be aware of how such escape can distract from social and political events that need to be addressed rather than escaped.
