Synopsis

The tiny Kirikou is born into an African village upon which a sorceress called Karaba has cast a terrible spell: the spring has dried up, the villagers are being blackmailed, the men of the village have either been kidnapped or have mysteriously disappeared.

He wants to rid the village of the curse so he goes on a voyage to the Forbidden Mountain, where the Wise Man of the Mountain, who knows of Karaba and her secrets, awaits him.


Guest artist: The visual artist Kezna Dalz

The screening will be followed by a discussion with the guest artist to contextualize the choice of film in relation to their journey of identity and artistic development.

Cinéma du Musée presents enraCINÉ, a new film series that explores the intersections of migration, identity, artistic practice, and cinema.
