我不是女巫

在赞比亚的偏远村庄，时常沉默的小女孩舒拉突然被指控为女巫，她必须选择加入女巫群体，否则便会化身成一只山羊。《我不是女巫》是出生于赞比亚，成长于威尔士的导演朗加诺·尼奥尼为我们描述的一个大胆讽刺性别偏见的故事。在一幕幕令人咋舌的怪异事件中，小女孩舒拉始终保持着不可思议的平静。尼奥尼凭借这部惊心动魄的处女作让非洲女巫文化登上了世界舞台。影片中对女巫文化的批评也源于世人对此的偏见，导演对这些偏见的细节阐述不仅针对非洲文化，也在全球范围文化语境内引发思考。Following a banal incident in her local village, 8-year old girl Shula is accused of witchcraft. After a short trial she is found guilty, taken into state custody and exiled to a witch camp in the middle of a desert. At the camp she takes part in an initiation ceremony where she is shown the rules surrounding her new life as a witch. Like the other residents, Shula is tied to a ribbon which is attached to a coil that perches in a large tree. She is told that should she ever cut the ribbon, she'll be cursed and transformed into a goat.
