Synopsis

This documentary tells the life of Don Sixto Palavecino, an old peasant musician, patriarch of native music, who from an arid area of Northwest Argentina in Santiago del Estero, arrives to the city with his "sachero" (mountain) violin, with the goal of reaching the radio and from there spreading his natural language, Quichua, which has been kept alive among the local people for more than four hundred years.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
