Saluhan is pleased to present our second screening in a three-part series celebrating the iconic works of Filipino filmmaker, Kidlat Tahimik.
Who invented the Yo-yo? Who invented the Moon Buggy? (Sinong Lumikha ng Yoyo? Sinong Lumikha ng Moon Buggy?) (1982) explores Tahimik’s fascination with interplanetary travel, leading him to start a Filipino space program in the fictional German town where he lives. The hero – again played by Kidlat Tahimik himself – teams up with toddlers on a Bavarian farm to work on a spaceship, in order to see if one can play yo-yo on the moon. Yet, the yo-yo was invented in the Philippines, and so the farm near becomes the birthplace of the first Philippine space project, in-short P.O.M.P. Who invented the Yo-yo? Who invented the Moon Buggy? is considered the sequel to his first film, Perfumed Nightmare, and animated by a similar playfulness and resourcefulness as the first.
