NEPTUNE FROST
110 minutes | 2022 | USA/RWANDA
Directors: Saul Williams & Anisia Uzeyman
A group of escaped coltan miners forms an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective in the hilltops of Burundi. They soon attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime that's exploiting the region's natural resources -- and its people. NEPTUNE FROST holds many resplendent identities at once: It’s a musical; it’s an intersex narrative; it’s a technological allegory espousing anti-capitalist and anti-colonialist views. It’s a collective dream coated in a blue lacquer dancing on the edge of something transcendent.
