There’s the Rave New World screening at Canal Projects tonight; two back to back films on rave culture in Asia - a short film by Michelle Lhooq on an underground rave in Singapore, followed by Ben Mullinkson’s feature documentary The Last Year of Darkness documenting alternative nightlife in Chengdu, China. The first is more of a traditional documentary, chronically one night out in a country that is not very conducive to going out - Singapore has the strictest drug laws in the world. The second screens like a narrative movie, the third wall breaks only once, a drag performer stands in a ball gown on the street at dawn, they get undressed, they get ready in the mirror, they meet online, they meet in a club, they meet in a warehouse, the night ends, the nights end, the years end, etc.
The sky is gray and orange this morning. It’s raining as I walk to class, big fat globs that only fall occasionally, the type of rain that you might not notice at all until it hits you squarely. I’ve been listening to only one song all week; Life on Mars by David Bowie. They played it in the screening at Rave New World last week and it made me feel dizzy in a kind of nice way. It’s a nice day, but the air is too heavy. I feel combative. I feel overwhelmingly happy.
