Set in industrial Singapore, police investigator Lok must find missing migrant worker Wang. Wang suffers a worksite accident and is anxious about repatriation. Unable to sleep, Wang starts frequenting a dreamy cybercafe in the dead of the night. Hoping to look for some form of human connection in this foreign land he feels alienated from, Wang forms a virtual friendship with a mysterious gamer that takes a sinister turn. When Wang suddenly disappears, Lok digs deep into the trail leading to a land-reclamation site, in order to uncover the truth beneath all that sand. Winner of the prestigious Golden Leopard at the 71st Locarno Film Festival 2018 and Best Asian Feature at the 29th Singapore International Film Festival 2018, A Land Imagined by Yeo Siew Hua won Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Film Score at Taipei’s 56th Golden Horse Awards 2019. The film is Singapore’s entry to the 2020 Academy Awards’ (Oscars) Best International Feature Film category. This limited-edition boxset DVD contains a specially designed booklet with never-before-seen images of the film and an exclusive director’s interview, plus a free bonus download code to A Land Imagined‘s award-winning soundtrack.
