WTTR: "Neptune Frost" at MIT

  • MIT Bartos Theatre 20 Ames Street Cambridge United States (map)

Directed by Anisia Uzeyman & Saul Williams, English, 1 hour and 45 minutes, USA, 2022

Join us in screening Neptune Frost as part of the annual Women Take The Reel Film Festival.

In the hilltops of Burundi 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 an inter-sex runaway and an escaped coltan miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry.

The screening will take place on February 17th at 5:00 PM followed by Q&A with Dr. Sandy Alexandre. This event is free and open to the public.
