Sobre este episodio
Send us Fan MailLevitating (Para Perasuk) follows Bayu as he attempts to become a shaman of a trance party so he can make enough money to keep from being evicted. We were joined by director Wregas Bhanuteja, and stars Anggun and Maudy Ayunda, to discuss the historical roots of trance parties in Indonesia, why Wregas was inspired to write this story, the creative way that Anggun channelled the sounds of an ant, and how Maudy choreographed her own trance dance moves.Bedford Park is the beautiful tale of two lost souls colliding, a Korean American woman struggling with family expectations and her own aspirations, and an ex-wrestler haunted by his past. We sat down with director Stephanie Ahn to discuss her years long process in casting, why becoming a mother helped her make this film, and the contradictory love languages between eastern culture and western culture.Jaripeo is a documentary about the queer desires that come to the surface on the sidelines of Michoacán’s hyper-masculine rodeos. We were joined by co-directors Efraín Mojica and Rebecca Zweig to share why they wanted to make this film, how they decided that Efraín needed to be on camera, and why the queer community in Michoacán gives them hope.Follow Levitating (Para Perasuk) on IGFollow Wregas Bhanuteja on IGFollow Anggun on IGFollow Maudy Ayunda on IGFollow Bedford Park on IGFollow Stephanie Ahn on IGFollow Jaripeo on IGFollow Rebecca Zweig on IGSupport the showThanks for listening and for your support!
