生活西化的女儿 (Daughter Who Lives a Westernised Life) became a buzz term in 2023, when a Chinese news outlet used it to indirectly refer to the lesbian character from the film Everything Everywhere All at Once. Since reclaimed by queer netizens, the euphemism has flown under the radar of censorship, becoming a knowing wink to connect the community.

This irreverent programme brings together stories by and about “westernised daughters” who refuse erasure to craft their own narratives through zines, songs, and DIY filmmaking. From honest conversations to high camp and fantasy, these short films slyly subvert societal expectations, turning disobedience into an act of queer worldmaking.
