PODCAST| Matt Micucci interviews Garin Nugroho and Muhammad Khan, director and actor of the film Memories of My Body.

Director Garin Nugroho premiered his latest film, Memories of My Body, in the Orizzonti section of the 75th Venice Film Festival. Joining him on this interview is the lead actor of the film, Muhammad Khan, as they discuss the origins of the production and Rianto, the man whose story inspired the film, as well as the theme of masculinity and femininity and more.

Memories of My Body: Juno is just a kid when his father leaves him in their village of Center Java. Abandoned and alone, he joins a Lengger dance centre where men transform assuming feminine appearance and movements. But the sensuality and sexuality that come from dance and bodies, mixed with the violent social and political situation of Indonesia, force Juno to move from village to village. Though on his journey Juno gets attention and love from his dance teachers, his weird aunty, his old uncle, a handsome boxer and a Warok, he still has to face alone the battlefield that his body is becoming.
