DocYard: Shirkers

(2018) dir. Sandi Tan [96 minutes; DCP]

In 1992, teenager Sandi Tan shot Singapore's first road movie with her enigmatic American mentor, Georges –who then absconded with all the footage. The 16mm film is recovered 20 years later, sending Tan, now a novelist in Los Angeles, on a personal odyssey in search of Georges' vanishing footprints – and her own.
