A recent documentary unravels the story of ‘Shirkers’ – a lost 90s feminist movie about a teen killer made by Sandi Tan.
. Shot in 1992, it was Singapore’s first indie road movie and it was the definition of guerrilla moviemaking. Picture a young film crew stealing old people from an old folks home to shoot a scene; sneaking kids out of school and then sneaking them back again; tiptoeing, illegally, onto a motorway in the early hours to film at the magic hour. They had zero permits. Their clapper boy was only 13. To people in the streets, they were just a crew of crazy kids.
Now, 26 years later, Sandi has released a Sundance-winning documentary detailing the whole saga. Released on Netflix this week, and also titled, it tells the intriguing story behind her ‘lost movie’.
The doc unravels the tantalizing mystery of what happened after Georges did a runner with the film. At that moment, when Sandi realized her labour of love had been taken from her, what did she feel? In a word, “Disbelief.” It slowly dawned on her that it was gone, thatwas gone. She tried to track him down but it was hard back then, she says, because they had no grownups supporting them.
