#NOWNESSASIAPicks @nownessasia
'Strangers In Paradise' (2021) by Yihong Exa Huang is an independent documentary offering a glimpse into the world of "Chilldo", a Chengdu-based queer underground party group 🪩
The short focuses on a collective of twenty-somethings who try to break free of “a small safety bubble” propped by “systems, labels and meaningless routines.” In particular, Huang closely followed the members of Chilldo as they prepared for a party on the last night of 2020, hoping to usher in a new year of new possibilities and community.
“What really drew me to [Chilldo’s] story was the love between people—it’s a community-driven, character-based narrative.” Huang shares.

相聚是一个身体靠着另一个身体,一个呼吸叠着另一个呼吸。我们在相聚中得到感受,在离别前失去倚靠,它是如此的来之不易,我们希望记忆的碎片可以再次在身体里轻盈起来,HTTP和 Chilldo的全体成员,给大家准备了一封love letter,每个现场我们将会有100封Love Letter送出,我们一起将属于我们的记忆在每次浮现时,都不再痛苦的飞扬。

Slutty fluffy hotties are taking over Chilldo 1 Year Anniversary Birthday Party tomorrow @cuechengdu
In the past year, we've hosted 13 parties, 3 movie nights, 2 panels, and 2 art shows. Chilldo may not yet established a stable system to provide enough service for our community, but like Pride Month this year, we strive and thrive, unstoppably.
June 26th is a special, epic day for Chilldo. For our team, we find joy among the struggles. To the friends and family in our community, we throw this 1 Year Anniversary party to give our genuine appreciation. Thank you all for persistent support. Thanks to the DJs for the waves in the dance floors. Thanks to artists for showing the world who we are through visuals. Thanks to all the sponsors for making everything happen. And thanks to destiny that brought us all together. We are carrying our earnest gratitude to where Chilldo was started, and presenting the most fabulous show of Pride Month.
