L'amfiparnaso - DVD

Intersex fugitive Neptune Frost (Elvis Ngabo, then Cheryl Isheja) fled to the Burundi hills, and fell in with a collective of computer hackers challenging the local authoritarian regime. Their fates would strangely intertwine with that of bereaved and exploited coltan miner Matalusa (Bertrand Ninteretse), in this challenging Afrofuturist fantasy-musical from filmmakers Anisia Uzeyman and Saul Williams. Eliane Umuhire, Ekaterina Baker also star. 105 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack Kinyarwanda and Kirundi; Subtitles English; audio commentary; deleted scenes; theatrical trailer. In Kinyarwanda and Kirundi with English subtitles.

Maurizio Guernieri's compositions are a part of an ongoing exploration of instrumental chamber music, in this case focused chiefly on string instruments. The pieces can be divided into two main groups. The first one is Elementa (InchelementsInch in Latin), meditations on the relationship between man and nature, and on the elements of nature, which, being often mismanaged by man, contribute to their own flourishing or decadence. Nature, which has always been called InchmotherInch, turns out to be an Inchevil stepmotherInch when she returns to man what he has given her in an extreme attempt to re-establish a balance that has been lost. The second group consists of other pieces that are meditations on man and his inner life. As in the previous CD, Bicinium (TC 940091), the pieces can be listened to in a single musical succession, as if the disc were, to use a term of the past, a Inchconcept album.Inch
