Incomparable musician-writer Saul Williams and artist-cinematographer Anisia Uzeyman join us for this special presentation of their Afrofuturist fantasia – a thrilling sci-fi punk musical that lists Ezra Miller, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Kara Walker among a who’s-who of producers.

From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump above Burundi, a group of renegade miners form an anti-colonialist hacker collective – and plot to take over from the authoritarian regime that exploits both the nation’s resources and its people. As they formulate their plans, a connection fires between miner Matalusa (Kaya Free) and intersex runaway Neptune (Cheryl Isheja and Elvis Ngabo) – which in turn sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry. Dazzlingly imaginative and ceaselessly invigorating, this is a remarkable feature from one of contemporary culture’s most dazzling talents. 

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman, hosted by Ephraim Webber.

More screenings from Friday 4 November
