La Iglesia de Yavi (by Jorge Prelorán)

Clip from ethnographic film by Jorge Preloran presents a portrait of a well-preserved colonial church in the small town of Yavi, Jujuy Province, Argentina. A voice over narration by Zenaida Wayar, the church's caretaker for over forty years, provides the history of the church and the region. Filmed in the 1960's. This film was recently preserved to film.

Conocí Yavi hace dos años y me pareció un lugar increíble al que espero pronto volver.
