Emilia Ezeta, (ITP ‘27) attended the premiere of Jaripeo at Sundance Film Festival, a film she co-componed the score for with Marton Radics. Jaripeo was featured in the NEXT category of the film festival, a series dedicated to innovative, forward-thinking indie films.
About the film: Set against the vibrant spectacle of the Jaripeo, a symbol of Mexican cowboy tradition and machismo, this story unveils a hidden world of queer desire and quiet rebellion. As glances and gestures disrupt the rigid norms of masculinity, the rodeo becomes a stage for our protagonists to navigate identity, community, and the search for belonging in an oppressively traditional space.
