Join us on 11 May for the screening of the ground breaking feature film I Am Not a Witch by Zambian-born Welsh writer director Rungano Nyoni.

When eight-year-old Shula turns up alone and unannounced in a rural Zambian village, the locals are suspicious. A minor incident escalates to a full-blown witch trial, where she is found guilty and sentenced to life on a state-run witch camp. There, she is tethered to a long white ribbon and told that if she ever tries to run away, she will be transformed into a goat. As the days pass, Shula begins to settle into her new community, but a threat looms on the horizon. Soon she is forced to make a difficult decision – whether to resign herself to life on the camp, or take a risk for freedom.

About
On the 9 May, the European Union celebrates Europe Day. This year’s European Film Festival screenings on the 9 May are also looking at giving an insight into both the EU’s foreign policy and how globalisation impacts European countries more broadly.

The highlight of the evening will be the screening of a recent documentary by Annalisa Piras ‘Europe at Sea’ at 6:45 PM. Piras followed the EU’s chief diplomat, Federica Mogherini for two years, documenting her quest to implement a new foreign policy agenda: the EU Global Strategy.
