Spain's Instituto de la Cinematografia y de las Artes Audiovisuales (ICAA), under the Ministerio de Cultura, maintains an official state catalogue of registered films. Its own record for El Teatro del Mas Alla, Chavin de Huantar (2015, director Jose Manuel Novoa Ruiz) carries a synopsis describing the ceremonial site at Chavin de Huantar, its "theocratic governors" and the priests who conducted religious ceremonies there, staging what the film calls "the theatre of the beyond" using hallucinogenic substances and sensory effects to sustain their authority across roughly 800 years.
