Mexico Nostalgia * Tecalpulco Village Saint’s Day Fiesta, ritual Chinelo Dancers, food vendors, Papa Jesus, and Banda La Rancherita. Modern rural Mexico - how it really is.

Synopsis

Tecalpulco Fiesta is a documentary film that shows a small town saints day celebration, typical of village fiestas all over rural Mexico. The pageant dancers with their hypnotic weaving, the dad buying ice-cream cones for his young daughters, the women making tortillas, the veneration of the saint, the ballads of local guitar-men and singers... all of this and more is in this movie, which is designed to put tears in the eyes of a homesick Mexican villager. A classic Mexico Nostalgia piece.

Just hanging around the village fiesta all day. At one point I fell asleep in the atrium of the church (I was not the only one). I just tried to point the camera at all the interesting things that were going on all around me.
