Film Screening - "Neptune Frost" Directed by Saul Williams & Anisia Uzeyman

CulturalDC's Source Theatre

TORRENTS: NEW LINKS TO BLACK FUTURES

CulturalDC presents TORRENTS: New Links to Black Futures, an inaugural artist-led convergence exploring new territory in Black future-building. November 10 - 13th, multi-location event in Washington, DC.

Due to high RSVP and our tight schedule, please arrive 30 minutes early to all TORRENTS events at Source Theatre. If tickets aren’t claimed by 10 minutes before we will be admitting standbys. Film Screening - &quot;Neptune Frost&quot; Directed by Saul Williams &amp; Anisia UzeymanMulti-hyphenate, multidisciplinary artist Saul Williams brings his unique dynamism to this Afrofuturist vision, a sci-fi punk musical that’s a visually wondrous amalgamation of themes, ideas, and songs that Williams has explored in his work, notably his 2016 album MartyrLoserKing. Co-directed with the Rwandan-born artist and cinematographer Anisia Uzeyman, the film takes place in the hilltops of Burundi, where a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region&#x27;s natural resources – and its people. When an intersex runaway and an escaped coltan miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry. Set between states of being – past and present, dream and waking life, colonized and free, male and female, memory and prescience – Neptune Frost is an invigorating and empowering direct download to the cerebral cortex and a call to reclaim technology for progressive political ends.Source Theatre, 1835 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20009P﻿resented by CulturalDC
