Tip from Cineville: Stockholms Filmfestival

Every Christmas, cowboys and returning locals gather in Michoacán for jaripeo, a Mexican rodeo tradition steeped in machismo, pride and nostalgia. But behind this distinctly masculine and heteronormative tradition, something else is unfolding: glances are exchanged, hands brush against one another, and secret encounters take place in the woods behind the arena.

Blending analogue Super 8 footage, raw documentary immediacy and dreamlike recollections, Efraín Mojica and Rebecca Zweig portray a queer world that has always existed at the heart of this macho culture — hidden in plain sight.
