Neptune Frost trailer offers a glimpse at the boundary-pushing, binary-shattering sci-fi musical

Neptune FrostThe sci-fi musical ”, from Anisia Urzeyman, and Saul Williams (artist-musician/poet), will open nationwide in theatres on June 3. Ahead of the film’s premiere, distributor Kino Lorber has released a new trailer that offers a glimpse into the film’s unique and inspiring world of neon colors and binary-shattering exuberance.

Burundi’s hillstops host this charming hotel. Neptune FrostFollow the intersex adventures of Cheryl Isheja, Cheryl Ngabo and Transan Ninteretse as they fall in love and meet. Joining together, the lovers spark a revolution as they unite a disparate community of miners to form an anti-colonialist hacker collective resisting an oppressive regime hellbent on despoiling the region’s resources for their own nefarious purposes.

We saw the film back when it screened earlier this year at the 2022 Sundance International Film Festival, with our review calling it a “mesmerizing Afropunk odyssey hacking at the boundaries of gender, technology, and class.”
