Shirkers
“There are movers, there are shakers, and there are shirkers.”
Documentary
In 1992, teenager Sandi Tan shot Singapore's first indie road movie with her enigmatic American mentor Georges – who then vanished with all the footage. Twenty years later, the 16mm film is recovered, sending Tan, now a novelist in Los Angeles, on a personal odyssey in search of Georges' vanishing footprints.
VIBE
A deeply personal and melancholic dive into lost art and memory. It feels like sifting through old photographs, a wistful exploration of a vanished past and the creative spirit's enduring quest.
