From 7pm at Canal Projects — Michelle Lhooq of Rave New World presents a double screening of a short film on Singapore’s nightlife underground, and a feature film documentary depicting rave culture in Chengdu, China. After party to follow.
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.
