At the Movies with Fiston Mwanza Mujila

Fiston Mwanza Mujila presents «Neptune Frost» (2021) / Directed by Saul Williams & Anisia Uzeyman
Fiston Mwanza Mujila is Poet in Residence at the Deutsche Oper Berlin for the season 26/27 and a part of the Afrofuturist music theater Sunville at the Tischlerei. He has chosen Neptune Frost as his film for the At the Movies series.

In the hills of Burundi, a group of displaced coltan miners forms an anti-colonialist hacker collective. From their camp in a surreal-looking electronic waste dump, they attempt to overthrow the authoritarian regime that exploits the region’s natural resources—and its people. When an intersex runaway and a fugitive coltan miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection triggers disruptions in the overarching divine circuitry.
