A bass-heavy, neon-coloured love letter to the Chengdu underground scene, a coming-of-age documentary that celebrates the ephemerality of youth.

Part of Tuesday Wonders
Part of Queer East
As the city of Chengdu changes, the future of Funky Town, a beloved queer-friendly techno club, is unclear. For a vibrant group of DJs, drag performers, artists, lovers, ravers, and skaters, the club is a sanctuary for underground partying and allows them to thrive after the sun sets.
But with construction cranes looming and a metro station encroaches, the partygoers are forced to face what brought them to the club in the first place, and make the most of their remaining time there.
Screening as part of the Queer East touring Film Festival.
