- **Event Name**: JARIPEO with THE FIRST TIMES
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 08:50 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: JARIPEO
Every Christmas in Penjamillo, a town in Michoacán, the annual jaripeo – central Mexican rodeo – draws locals and returning U.S. migrants alike for a nostalgic celebration of the masculine ideals of this rural Mexican state. 

Beneath the spectacle, another narrative unfolds: fleeting touches, coded glances, and secret hookups in the woods behind the rodeo arena reveal a hidden queer subculture shaped by this environment. Filmmaker Efraín, who grew up between Penjamillo and Riverside, California, guides us through this world, blending personal memory, Super8 images, stylized scenes and raw verité to question the very machismo which the jaripeo upholds.

At the Christmas rodeo, they meet two other protagonists: Noé, a handsome and macho cowboy who is out to some of his family but who still lives largely in secrecy; and Joseph, a flamboyant diva and devoted jaripeo superfan, who is beloved by his community. Through their interactions with them, Efraín embarks on a journey to self-recognition, creating layered, intimate portraits of three lives shaped by tradition, desire, and identity. 

THE FIRST TIMES
Emilia and Caterina write letters to each other revisiting their adolescent memories and earliest experiences at a boarding school in the 1950s. Did they choose the lives they truly wanted, or only those that they dared to imagine?
