NEPTUNE FROST (2021) dir. Saul Williams & Anisia Uzeyman In the hilltops of Rwanda 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’s natural resources - and its people. When Neptune, an intersex runaway, and Matalusa, a miner, find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry. (link in title)

"Cosmic Parallax: Saul Williams/Anisia Uzeyman"

By Jill Jones

Our writers highlight favorite tech elements of film from 2022.

“It’s a film that envisions a liberatory future in the most culturally specific ways possible, leading to some of the most barrier-breaking costuming I’ve seen in years.” (Clint Worthington)

Director: Anisia Uzeyman D.P.: Alima Lee Hair & MUA: Tanya Melendez Stylist: Autumn Randolph Decor: Morgan Sorne Editor: Jean-Marie Lengelle 

 * A new form of light. I was beside myself. Mars beside the moon. The naked eye, the channel the remote satellite, the crystal stair the harbored light, the encrypted message. And I got a friend who's in cyber security. Picture that! Another one that builds platforms in cyber-secure worlds, but we're all susceptible. We're all susceptible. Picture that! Save/Delete Save/Delete Save/Delete You were never erased from the question. You were never erased from the question. You were never erased. You were never erased. You were never erased from the question. *** You were born Encrypted & Vulnerable. And that's what I like about you. *** You were born every day! And when the rebels were born... *** I was beside myself. Mars beside the moon. The naked eye. The encrypted satellite... ... the darkness the darkness is lost in her eyes. Lost in her eyes. I was beside myself. I was beside myself *

Movies That Changed Anisia Uzeyman | REELYDOPE

Dreamstates director Anisia Uzeyman walks us through the films that inspired her cinematic adventures in the second installment of Movies That Changed Me.

Take a journey through the cinematic education of Anisia Uzeyman, the Rwandan actress and director breaking onto the scene with her directorial premiere, Dreamstates (2016), and starring role in Guetty Felin’s Ayiti Mon Amour (2016).

Movies That Changed Anisia Uzeyman is the second in a REELYDOPE original series where we ask directors and actors to discuss the films that have made an impact on their lives. From the JLG to Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Uzeyman tells us about her earliest memories in the cinema all the way through the directors that have inspired her breakout film. This is a masterclass on independent film spoken from the heart of a true cineaste.

* REELYDOPE review of Dreamstates

"But the sharpest comparison for Dreamstates would be John Cassavetes’ Shadows, a famously improvised film similarly focused on race relations in the US. Each elucidates the country’s strained relationship with race through experimentation, unscripted experiences, and black music."

Thanks so much!

Saul Williams, Anisia Uzeyman, Guillermo E. Brown, Beau Sia, DJ Carlos Niño

Saul Williams has found a way to make his poetry come alive and resonate with immediacy and power by fusing it with hip-hop and rock on such provocative recordings as his 2001 debut, Amethyst Rock Star; the incendiary 2007 collaboration with Trent Reznor, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!; and 2016’s politically charged and defiantly confrontational MartyrLoserKing.
