Closing Film: Jaripeo

Filmmaker Efrain Mojica travels to their hometown in Penjamillo, Michoacán, with friend and filmmaker Rebecca Zweig to show us the counter-culture that lives alongside the local rodeos (or ‘jaripeos’). Typically hyper-masculine spaces, this audience will appreciate the swaggering campness of the rancheros, but in a conservative Catholic atmosphere, sexual openness is reserved until the steamy, alcohol-fueled hours after midnight. Blending personal experience with Super 8 footage and erotic imagery, the emotional core comes from Mojica’s frank conversations with Zweig, macho cowboy Noé and flamboyant diva Joseph. Mojica, navigating their own reflections on masculinity, offers open-hearted understanding on the effects of secrecy in shaping identity.
