"Turumba"
1984
Directed by Kidlat Tahimik

Set in a tiny Philippine village, Tahimik's Turumba focuses on one family which traditionally made papier-mache animals to sell during the Turumba religious festivities. When they get a huge order, the whole life of the family is changed, as Tahimik wryly observes the "creation of the proletariat." Tagalog with English subtitles.  94 minutes.
