Sybil Wendler is a filmmaker based in San Diego, California. Past work includes her award-winning documentary, Once Upon a Rooftop, that presents an intimate look at the illegal dwellings erected on top of old buildings scattered across Hong Kong. The rooftop tenements shelter mostly migrants coming from Mainland China that are the working-poor of this privileged city. Sybil has also collaborated with the highly acclaimed conceptual artist, Eleanor Antin, in a joint directorial art film entitled Fragments of a Revolution, which centers on Antin’s metaphorical characters from her earlier play that blended history and fantasy. Sybil's current documentary, Follow the Sun, continues to depict a cinematic practice that is grounded in a social discourse on the themes of belonging and cultural identity. Her work is further influenced by the literary movement of magical realism and her films reflect a beguiling dance between the empirical world and the imaginary.
