🎭 Next Door
Part of our upcoming double bill with Where Is Home?
Next Door explores an intercultural relationship between a white Canadian woman and a South Asian man navigating love under the weight of family expectations. When cultures meet, tensions rise but so do moments of deep connection.
Through moments of humor, tenderness, and conflict, Next Door examines identity, belonging, and the delicate balance between love and family.

SpanicArts is deeply proud of Sebastián Serna for this well-deserved recognition. In just one year, he has overcome language and cultural barriers through dance, channeling his gratitude for life into meaningful contributions to the community, with an energy and stage presence that inspire.
We have always known that nominating our artists is essential to strengthening the Latino community in Calgary, and Sebastián is a clear example of this—just as Claudia Chagoya and Yeison Chang were in previous years. He represents and inspires those who are seeking their place within this vast creative landscape, reminding us that there is always room for every dream.
This journey is also made possible thanks to the spaces created by organizations that support us, such as Calgary Arts Development, the Weeklund Centre, and the Rozsa Foundation, among others.

🎭 We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming double bill
Where Is Home?
Next Door
An evening of two original works.
✨ Where Is Home? explores the experience of first generation immigrants and newcomers whose roots stretch across borders and time. It follows a young man torn between the home he left behind and the future he hopes to build with the woman he loves. When home is never just one place, what does love look like and where does it belong?
✨ Next Door explores an intercultural relationship between a white Canadian woman and a South Asian man navigating love under the weight of family expectations. When cultures meet, tensions rise but so do moments of deep connection.
Together, these two works examine identity, belonging, family, and the quiet resilience it takes to build connection across difference.

@calgaryundergroundfilm y SpanicArts te invitan a disfrutar del Documental Jaripeo
A hybrid documentary that journeys to Michoacán’s hypermasculine rodeos. What starts as a celebration of tradition, descends into the subconscious of memory, queer desire, and longing.
Every Christmas in Penjamillo, Michoacán, the annual jaripeo unites locals and returning U.S. migrants in a celebration of cowboy culture, nostalgia, and masculinity, while beneath the spectacle a hidden queer subculture quietly unfolds. Filmmaker Efraín Mojica, who grew up between Penjamillo and Riverside, California, blends personal experience with Super 8 footage, stylized memory, and raw verité to interrogate the machismo at its core. Through encounters with Noé, a macho cowboy living partly in secret, and Joseph, a flamboyant jaripeo superfan and community pillar, the film becomes an intimate journey of self-recognition within a traditionally masculine world. JARIPEO is a reckoning with the wounds and beauty of a home left behind. @jaripeodocu@palomanegralaaventurera #yycevents #underground #film #yycfilm
@calgaryundergroundfilm Y SpanicArts te invitan a disfrutar de la pelicula LUGER en el festival de cine underground
Hired by a crooked lawyer to recover a stolen car, a couple of small-time thugs are dragged into a violent situation that quickly spirals out of control, forcing them into a brutal confrontation against the owner of a shady junkyard.
Rafa and Toni work for Ángela, a morally flexible lawyer who offers her clients quick solutions outside the law. The story unfolds over a frenetic day in a labyrinthine industrial park, when they’re hired to get back a stolen car for one of those clients. In its trunk, they find a mysterious safe containing a World War II relic: a Luger P08 gun, highly desired by very dangerous people from the underworld.
@calgaryundergroundfilm Y SpanicArts te invitan a disfrutar la Película QUINCE
Two best friends preparing for their quinceañera face desire, cruelty, and social pressure – until one girl’s body begins to transform into something monstrous.
Ligia and Mayte are inseparable – two teenage girls counting down to a quinceañera that promises glamour, status, and a new version of themselves. But after a traumatic sexual experience, Ligia’s body begins to change in unsettling ways, turning adolescence into something visceral and terrifying. Blending coming-of-age intimacy with body horror, FIFTEEN explores consent, power, and the fear of growing up in a world that watches, judges, and consumes young women. #yycevents #undergraund #film
