#NeptuneFrost was extremely weird. I don't think I have enough context to know what to make of it, but it felt like it had at least one theme in common with the Latin American sci-fi anthology "El Tercer Mundo Después del Sol" -- that for huge swaths of humanity, technology is mostly something made elsewhere and imposed rather than imported. The idea that you can remake it to serve your own purposes is pretty radical.
I won't be watching #Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: #TakeTwo.
Too bad the content and tone of Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: #TakeOne are so opposite from #NeptuneFrost, which I watched last night.
Both inventive and unique, but #Symbiopsychotaxiplasm is of the past with its ingrained toxicity, #Neptune #Frost is of now, and our future, in its openness, acceptance, and #communal #spirit.
Three #Black #filmmakers (2 on Neptune Frost), two very different results onscreen, and in my emotional response.

My heart felt happy watching #NeptuneFrost 💜
The visuals of the lush greens and brightly colored clothing, the DIY tech fashionistas and set design, the bleeps and bloops of the music, etc. 💯
It's so weird. Loved it.

Neptune Frost. An important movie about technology. Beautiful, imaginative, great soundtrack.
Hack into land rights and ownership,
Hack into business law, proprietorship.
Hack into the history of the bank.
Hack and question the business of slavery, of free labor, it’s relation to today’s world.
Hack into ambition, into greed.

Everyone stop what you're doing and go watch #NeptuneFrost
It's a badass new cyberpunk/solarpunk film from Rwanda.
It's so good
I'm glad I watched the beautiful, Surreal cyberpunk SFF movie *Neptune Frost* tonight with my sister, at @HugoBookClub 's urging. Rich, nuanced imagery and interactions between characters. Call and response, echo and variation. References that came to mind: #MaxHeadroom #JesusChristSuperstar ... #Darmok (Shaka, when the walls fell) phrases from #NeptuneFrost : #FourthDimensionalLibations #MartyrLoserKingdom #UnanimousGoldMine

3 things about SWAN’s NEPTUNE FROST [2021]
1. From the knapsack, Neptune removes a pair of high-heeled shoes and puts them on.
2. Spinning bicycle-wheel headpiece.
3. Dawn through the trees.

Reminder: Neptune Frost is eligible for the #HugoAward next year.
It's an Afrofuturist musical about labour rights, about systems of oppression, & about gender.
If you care about SFF cinema as a distinct artform, and you vote on the Hugos, please give Neptune Frost a chance.
