Abstract:

Every January, thousands of people from far and near dance, play music, shout prasies, andpray for three days in the streets of Kalibo, a town in the central Philippines to celebrate the Ati-atihan festival.By way of photos, sounds, narration, and music, this multimedia project offers a possible model for articulating the effect, sensation, movements, and cultural and historical complexity of this remarkable festival, and a unique and differently layered visual encounter.
