content: Ethnographic film documents festivities in honor of the Virgin of the Assumption, patron saint of Casabindo, Jujuy Province, Argentina. Casabindo was the first town founded by Spanish Conquistadors in the territory of Argentina. The film was shot on August 15, 1965, and originally released in 1966.  Prelorán produced an English version through the Ethnographic Film Program at UCLA around 1977. In 1996, Prelorán re-edited the Spanish version, updated the titles and credits, and may have recorded a new narration. The HSFA holds two versions.
