After his full-length debut, “Photocopier”, that came out in 2021, Wregas Bhanuteja decided to continue the exploration of current public issues regarding the use of technology and social media. However, in “Andragogy”, which premiered at the 49th Toronto International Film Festival, the main character is not a teenager, but a middle-aged teacher. Hence the English title, which means “the art of teaching adults or helping adults learn”, perfectly captures the film's message – in this rapidly changing world, people need to acquire new skills throughout their entire lives. The movie was met with critical acclaim as it received seventeen nominations at the 43rd Indonesian Film Festival, including Best Picture, and won two awards – for Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress.
Andragogy is screening at Cinemasia
The story, written by the director himself, concentrates on Prani (Sha Ine Febriyanti). She is a school teacher recognized for her innovative disciplinary methods that help students correct their bad behavior.
