The catalogue's own synopsis describes the site's theocratic governors and the priests who conducted religious ceremonies there for roughly 800 years, staging what the film calls "the theatre of the beyond" through architecture, sound, lighting effects and hallucinogenic substances to sustain their religious authority over pilgrims who travelled to the site.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsProductionRelease YearWell-attested2015 1DirectorWell-attestedJose Manuel Novoa Ruiz 1Country of OriginWell-attestedChavin de Huantar, Peru 1FormatWell-attestedDocumentary 1Subject MatterReligious Subject MatterWell-attestedThe priesthood and religious ceremony of the Chavin cult at Chavin de Huantar: the Spanish state catalogue's own synopsis names the site's theocratic governors and its ritual "theatre of the beyond" outright. 1Cross-Tradition ConnectionsAssociated WithChavin de Huantar, Sacred Sites Well-attested This source names Chavin de Huantar directly: "film on the ceremonial centre of Chavin de Huantar in the Peruvian Andes, directed by Jose Manuel Novoa Ruiz and registered in Spain's own official state film catalogue (ICAA)."Source Spain's ICAA Official Film Catalogue Record for El Teatro del Mas Alla, Chavin de Huantar (2015)tier 1Belongs to TraditionChavin Religion, Religions Well-attested Spain's own official state film catalogue synopsis is substantially about the priesthood and religious ceremony conducted at Chavin de Huantar, and the UNESCO World Heritage Centre's own record independently names the site a religious centre, making this the first screen work the atlas holds for the tradition.Source Spain's ICAA Official Film Catalogue Record for El Teatro del Mas Alla, Chavin de Huantar (2015)tier 1Sources1.
