I AM NOT A WITCH

 

Zambian-born Welsh director Rungano Nyoni’s groundbreaking first feature, tells the tale of a remote Zambian community where a girl is denounced as a witch and sent on a trajectory of exploitation, as a tethered member of a witches' camp, a witch for hire and a tourist exhibit. It was screened in the Directors' Fortnight section at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival and won the BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer for Nyoni and producer Emily Morgan at the 71st British Academy Film Awards.

WHEN HARI GOT MARRIED

 

Directed by Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam this documentary follows Hari, a taxi driver in Himachal, as he is all set to get married to Suman, a girl he has never met. Tradition dictates that they will only see each other on the day of their wedding. But Hari has found another way to get to know her: on the mobile phone. Over the past few months they have spoken to each other every day and have fallen in love. Hari’s unusual courtship and marriage provide a warm and illuminating insight into the changes taking place in India as modernisation and globalisation collide with age-old traditions and customs.
