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.
