Possibly the year's most audacious film debut, I AM NOT A WITCH has won numerous awards, including Britain's BAFTA for best first feature, and to see it is to understand why...Written and directed by Zambian-born, Wales-raised Rungano Nyoni, this smart and savage satire is impressive for the way it joins a dramatically involving story with a Swiftian tale of human society in general and Africa culture and customs in particular… Beguiling...wickedly smart. - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Beautiful and unsettling...It is a remarkable, strange and politically potent first film. --Michael O'Sullivan, The Washington Post
Sharply observed, symbolically astute...Nyoni's frank, confrontational style is both derisive and empathetic; she extracts powerful symbolic images from the oppressive environment...Short word on a remarkable movie opening today, I AM NOT A WITCH, Rungano Nyoni's first feature; also, the images of ribbons and huge spools on the truck are among the most striking cinematic objects, both practical and symbolic, that I've seen in a while. - Richard Brody, The New Yorker
Beneath the weight of history, Nyoni's film possesses a wry, sober-minded sense of humor that elicits the pained chuckles of viewers unsure of whether to laugh or cry...[she] paints portraits of implied mysticism with elegance and precision. --Kelley Dong, Film Comment
Product Description
In her BAFTA award-winning debut feature, Rungano Nyoni crafts a satiric feminist fairy-tale set in present-day Zambia. When 9-year old orphan Shula is accused of witchcraft, she is exiled to a witch camp run by Mr. Banda, a corrupt and inept government official. Tied to the ground by a white ribbon, Shula is told that she will turn into a goat if she tries to escape. As the only child witch, Shula quickly becomes a local star and the adults around her exploit her supposed powers for financial gain. Soon she is forced to make a difficult decision whether to resign herself to life on the camp, or take a risk for freedom. A hit at over 50 international festivals, I AM NOT A WITCH is a must-see for anyone interested in new African Cinema and contemporary female filmmakers.
