(Sun 20th / 2pm / £2)
This animated film exquisitely recounts the tale of tiny Kirikou, born in an African village on which Karaba the Sorceress has placed a terrible curse. Kirikou sets out on a quest to free his village of the curse and find out the secret of why Karaba is so wicked. A blend of African folktales, Kirikou has both humour and style. Kirikou and the Sorceress is a picture book in motion, with beautiful images taken from the art and nature of West Africa. Traditional music soundtrack by African music giant Youssou N'Dour.
