Silivia the Zulu is an experiment in ethnographic cinema that combines
fiction and documentary techniques to tell a love story of a
member of the Zulu tribe in a fight against witchcraft and betrayal.
With the help of anthropologist Lidio Cipriana, director Attilio Gatti
traveled to a true rural Zulu village, whose inhabitants are
involved in the film, to recreate his mythological vision of
African culture.
