SEEfest - The Witch Hunters

Serbia
West Coast Premiere
Director: Raško Miljković
Producer: Jovana Karaulić
Cast: Mihajlo Milavić, Silma Mahmuti, Jelena Djokić, Bojan Zirović, Jelena Jovanova

Jovan, a 10 year old boy with partial cerebral palsy, befriends Milica, a girl who believes that an evil witch has possessed her father. Together they embark on a mission to chase away the ‘witch’.

The Hollywood Reporter aptly described the film as ‘a kids' movie about a misguided response to impending divorce.’ It is a perfect blend of the mystique of childhood, heartbreak caused by family breakup, and imagination’s role in dealing with a real-life disability. Two young leads convincingly channel these emotions in a movie that steals our heart.

Screening in the youth program supported by Creating Creators.
