Jorge Prelorán
Jorge Prelorán was an Argentine-American filmmaker renowned for his ethnographic documentaries that intimately portrayed the lives and cultures of rural communities in Argentina. His pioneering work in "ethnobiography" combined anthropological research with cinematic storytelling, offering deep insights into his subjects' personal experiences. Notable films include Hermógenes Cayo (1969) and Luther Metke at 94 (1980), the latter earning an Academy Award nomination.
