In collaboration with Queer East Film Festival, Deptford Cinema presents Memories of My Body by Indonesian director Garin Nugroho.
Juno is just a child when his father abandons him in their village of Center Java. Alone now, he joins a Lengger dance center where men shape their feminine appearance and movement. But the sensuality and sexuality that come from dance and bodies, mixed with the violent social and political Indonesian environment, force Juno to move from village to village. Even if on this journey Juno receives attention and love from his dance teachers, his weird aunty, his old uncle, a handsome boxer and a Warok, he still has to face by himself the battlefield that his body is becoming.
Part of QUEER EAST: ON THE ROAD, an on-going journey bringing brave queer storytelling from East and Southeast Asia to the UK.
