EVENT: Film showing of I am Not a Witch as part of The Black History Wales Events 2018

Date: Wednesday 17 October 2018

Time: 18.00 - 21.30

Location: Pierhead

Description: Film Showing of ‘I am Not A Witch’ programmed for Black History Month Wales 2018. The film takes place in a remote Zambian village, where a nine-year-old girl Margaret Mulubwa is accused of being a witch and given a stark choice: to accept her supernatural branding and live a tethered life as a sorceress, or to cut her ties with local tradition and be transformed into a goat that may be killed and eaten for supper. Thus begins this bewilderingly strange yet terrifically sure-footed feature debut from writer-director Rungano Nyoni. Born in Zambia and part-raised in Wales, Nyoni first made international waves with such award-winning shorts as Mwansa the Great (2011) and Listen (2014). Now, this daringly satirical parable of magic and misogyny, superstition and social strictures confirms her promise as a film-maker of fiercely independent vision, with a bright future ahead.
