content: Experimental film described by Prelorán as "a free improvisation with a child of 5 who plays, has fun, gets mad, and ends up in frenetic activity, all enhanced with superimposed animation." The film has four versions, each with a different musical score.  Prelorán's intention was that all four versions would be viewed together in order to compare how the character of the child changes according to the music. The film was shot in Tucumán, Argentina, around 1965. The child is Claudia Niccolini, the daughter of a friend and colleague of Prelorán's. In 1966, Prelorán released his first version of the film, titled Claudia y Yo. He later re-edited and shortened the film and, over time, requested soundtracks from several composers. In 1972, he released four versions under the title Claudia; these are the four intended to be viewed together. The HSFA holds five versions of this title.
