synopsis
A personal retelling of the filmmaker’s meeting with Ms. Anita Duldulao, one of the only handful living harp players of her generation in Ilocos Norte, Philippines. Filipino filmmaker Elvert Bañares was resource person of a video documentation workshop and one of its goals was to document the transfer of an old harp to Nanay Anita and have her play music with it. The brief encounter was turned into a portraiture film from an observer's point of view, creating a lasting memory in what could be a musician's rare encounter with a harp.
