| Abstract | The unproduced short film, Banal na Aso (Holy Shih Tzu!), is a satirical dark comedy mockumentary of a cult called Sanshi and their ritual process to summon the Philippines’ next president. Chaos ensues as they choose the vessel for the spirit and their summoning ritual goes up in flames. The film satirizes actual political and religious leaders to show the absurdity of having them in positions of power. It uses Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical theory to show how these characters put on performances to appeal to the public, and the contagion theory to demonstrate how groups can easily become uncontrolled, wild, and frenzied, and exhibit as a result unreasonable and emotionally charged behavior. |
