Introduction

Drawing on Mojica’s youth in Michoacán, they return home to converse with queer people in the area. Shot on hypnotic Super 8, Jaripeo reveals the queer desire that lurks beneath the surface of hypermasculine spaces, and the significance of cultural traditions. Coming to BFI Flare fresh from Sundance and Berlinale, Jaripeo marks Mojica and Zweig as filmmakers to watch.
