NewFest Presents:

THINGS WE DARE NOT DO / COSAS QUE NO HACEMOS
A film by Bruno Santamaría
(Mexico/USA, 2020, 71 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)

Three hours from Tepic, the capital of the state of Nayarit, is El Roblito, a small town of a few hundred inhabitants surrounded by mangroves. Cinematographer-turned-director Bruno Santamaría captures rural Mexico through its residents, idyllic landscapes, and community traditions, telling the story of 16-year old Ñoño. Through the photographer’s lens, Things We Dare Not Do confronts gender norms by addressing machismo and violence in the struggle for queer identity. The film was the winner of the Jury Prize for International Documentary, Chicago International Film Festival.
