Neptune Frost is an upcoming musical film directed by Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman. The film is set in the hilltops of Burundi, where a group of escaped coltan miners forms a hacker collective to take down an authoritarian regime that has been exploiting the region's natural resources and its people.
The film is a surreal journey through a dystopian world, where characters question the nature of reality and their place in the universe. It is a story of love, rebellion, and the power of music to connect us to the divine.
The two main characters of the film are Matalusa, an intersex runaway who is searching for a place to belong, and Neptune Frost, an escaped coltan miner who joins the hacker collective. Matalusa and Neptune Frost's connection sparks glitches in the divine circuitry, revealing the interconnectedness of all things.
The film features original music by Saul Williams, who is known for his poetry and activism. The music blends traditional African rhythms with electronic beats and experimental sounds, creating a unique and immersive listening experience.
Neptune Frost is a visually stunning film that draws inspiration from Afrofuturism, a cultural movement that combines elements of science fiction, fantasy, and African culture. It is a timely story about the fight against exploitation and oppression, and the power of love and music to overcome even the most entrenched systems of power.
