In chromdome's info on Mojica after 1947, QID 27220, he mentioned
several movies that Mojica made.  So now I'd like to know if any are
available on video--listed on websites w/ Spanish-language videos,
perhaps--if info IS available, it would need to be translated into
English.  (I realize that any such videos would probably NOT have
English subtitles, but I would like to see it/them anyway.)

Hola,

Many of the older films are apparently unavailable (ones done before
World War II), but three of the four most recent films can be found. 
I found that the best way to find these films online was to search on
Google using the name of the movie in quote marks, followed by "VHS"
not in quotes.

Example search field: "yo pecador" VHS

If you wish, you can try doing the same thing, but substitute "DVD"
for "VHS." Fewer results will show up, however.  Sometims you can get
different results by including or removing the accent marks.

You can follow the links from these searches to find vendors for the
movies. Some of the links are out of date already, but I've found at
least one vendor for each of the following three movies.

Movie: "Yo, pecador"
Google search: "yo pecador" vhs
://www.google.com/search?hl=es&q=%22yo+pecador%22+vhs

Sample vendor: Tango Mania Films (Argentina)
http://www.tangomania.com.ar/vhsp.htm
Translation: "The price for each film is $40 U.S. for VHS Pal and $50
for VHS NTSC. The films are available in Spanish.  For subtitles or
other languages, ask us."  It's probably safe to follow the e-mail
link and write to the company in English.

Movie: "Seguiré tus pasos"
Google search: "seguiré tus pasos" vhs
://www.google.com/search?hl=es&q=%22seguir%E9+tus+pasos%22+vhs

Sample vendor: Video Cinema Mexicano
http://members.aol.com/jprlatin/Cine3.htm

Movie: "Melodías de America"
Google search: "melodías de américa" vhs
://www.google.com/search?q=%22melod%EDas+de+am%E9rica%22+vhs

Sample vendor: Opera Videos
http://www.dinosaur.org/opera/operamovie.htm

I enjoyed reading the information that the other researcher found
about Mojica. It sounds like he was an interesting man. Best wishes in
securing and watching these movies!

I'm not a researcher (yet), but here you go:

Hallucinations of a derranged mind ('70, director & actor)
Awakenings of the beast ('68, director & actor)
Strange world of coffin Joe  ('68 director & actor)
At Midnight, I'll take your soul ('63 director & actor)

These are available on video, in portugese with English subtitles.

A simple search at Google for these titles will supply you with online
stores to order the videos, e.g.:

://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22Hallucinations+of+a+Deranged+Mind%22

As a warning, "Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever" rates all 4 films
with the minimum possisble score of one bone... ;-)

Hi, Kimmich, and welcome back!

I'd just like to point out that the films listed in the comments by
minibbjd and kaptkz are by the "other" Jose Mojica, Jose Mojica
Marins.  You may recall that in my original answer I'd used the
-marins option to exclude films by this man.

The films of Jose Mojica Marins enjoy a certain cult following, but
they are a far cry from those of "your" Jose Mojica.  Marins is known
for making very strange films, heavy on the sex and horror.  Not
without interest, perhaps (I found websites devoted to his work which
were eloquent in his defense) but not what you would call family fare.
