The most dazzling British debut feature of 2017, this is a highly original mix of magical realist drama, deadpan satire and feminist allegory.
Nine-year-old Shula is banished from her village and sent to a travelling witch-camp where she is told that if she tries to escape she will be transformed into a goat. Cut through with moments of humour and surrealism, I Am Not a Witch is wonderfully shot and also features a striking soundtrack.
