Show Notes

What are women's bodies? In this episode, Poorva talks to Brazilian screenwriter, animator and director Camila Kater about her animated short Portuguese language film, Carne or Flesh.  The film, told in vignettes shares five personal stories of women's experiences in relation to their  own bodies, from childhood to old age.  Poorva and Camila explore how women's bodies are codified, commodified and consumed by the family structure, by society and the media.

Carne premiered at the Locarno International film festival in 2019 and qualified for the 2021 Academy Awards. It was shortlisted for the 2021 Goya Awards and was acquired by the New York Times Op Docs. To watch the film visit The New York Times Op Docs.
