Saluhan is pleased to present the third and final film in our screening series dedicated to the independent cinema of Kidlat Tahimik. To celebrate the end of the series, we will be hosting a Pinoy BBQ Picnic before the screening on the grounds of Siteworks.

Why is Yellow the Middle of the Rainbow? (Bakit dilaw ang gitna ng bahag-hari?) (1984- 1994) is a long-form collage film exploring a decade of American neocolonialism in the Philippines and the US. Filtering a wide range of political and cultural concerns through an intensely personal and familial lens, this is the central film in Kidlat Tahimik’s cinematic cosmology.
