Still a bit overwhelmed by the splendid success their debut
documentary achieved with its Sundance premiere, Rebecca Zweig and
Efraín Mojica already have graced over a dozen film festivals with
their intimate look at gay Mexican cowboys at the titular
traditional rodeo event. Equally gentle and daring, Jaripeo
explores the multilayered tension - social, sensual, and symbolic -
evoked by the performances of masculinity as well a their collision
with queer identity and desire. During their most recent festival
stop at Visions du Réel, the director duo spoke with Lidanoir about
finding their glamorous characters, shooting in Efraín's hometown,
and the vibrant queer community at a place shaped by tradition and
religion.
