  • Limited Edition VHS short film by Anito Soul.

    Amen, Anito! is a documentary visual album by Filipino-American artist Anito Soul (Michael Balangue). This project explores elements of Filipino culture as an experimental documentary film shot fully on digicam with an electronic music soundtrack featuring field recordings, cultural samples, and elements of jungle, ambient, trip-hop, footwork, techno, East Coast club, and budots, a grassroots Filipino dance genre. The project is framed through the lens of their return to the Philippines after 11 years, with each track representing a portal into a specific lived experience grounded in layers of Filipino culture. It serves as a meditation, self-reflection, and examination of relationships to the land, spirituality, indigeneity, class, and what it means to be a balikbayan, a term referring to both literal shipping boxes and to Filipinos returning to the islands after spending time abroad.
