Singapore Minstrel: “Roy Payamal is an old-time pioneer of the local scene, sometimes dubbed the ‘Silver Man’, who creates spectacular installations for a mind-boggling act. His street colleagues are a gang of offbeat, seasoned male buskers– from a 70-year-old man who dances Gangnam Style with vitality, to a lovable guitarist trying to pass the busking auditions. Through intimate interviews and fantasy sequences, the film portrays Roy’s unique, trying universe as art and life dialogue with one another. It unravels both his and the nation’s busking journeys, calling attention to a troupe of eccentric underdogs and examines what culture means in a hard-fisted country like Singapore. The film also features original solo songs by Roy and performance artist Lee Wen.”
