NEPTUNE FROST

2021, USA/Ruanda

Saul Williams / Anisia Uzeyman

Set in Rwanda, this musical love story between an African intersex runaway and a coltan miner premiered at Cannes Director's Fortnight 2021. Written by the American singer and slam poet Saul Williams, co-directed by the French-Rwandese actress and filmmaker Anisia Uzeyman, this cosmic blast is Williams’s debut film. With a soundtrack also signed by Williams, this technological and working-class revolution shot in Kinyarwanda is maybe one of the more indefinable films recently originating from the African continent.

Eine Person mit futuristischen Accessoires steht vor einer Wand mit alten Computermonitoren, auf denen blaue Bildschirme zu sehen sind, umgeben von freiliegenden elektronischen Bauteilen und in gedämpftem Licht.
