En 1927, le réalisateur et explorateur italien Attilio Gatti voyagea à travers le Zoulouland avec l’anthropologue Lidio Cipriani dans le but de créer un film où se mêleraient d’authentiques éléments anthropologiques et une histoire fantastique de sorcellerie et de trahison. Gatti choisit une thématique romantique occidentale – un homme tombe amoureux puis perd l’être aimé – et la mélangea à certaines idées de la tribu qu’il observait, choisissant ses acteurs parmi ses membres.
SILIVA THE ZULU est un film unique : si, en tant que compte-rendu de la vie et de la culture zouloue, il n’est pas forcément authentique, il contient assurément les seules images que l’on ait de ce peuple et de la collaboration qu’il choisit d’apporter.

English
Zulu South Africa anthropology Dramatic feature with strong ethnographic element, (silent film) first look at Zulu life in South Africa.
This is a heavily fictionalized account of Zulu life in 1927. Made by an Italian team that included the famous anthropologist Lidio Cipriani, it weaves genuine enthnographical elements into a fantasy of love, witchcraft, and betrayal.
In 1927, Italian director and explorer Attilio Gatti travelled to Zululand along with anthropologist Lidio Cipriani in order to create a film that would weave genuine anthropological elements into a fantasy of witchcraft and betrayal. Gatti took a Western romantic theme of ‘boy meets girl, boy loses girl’ and stirred it together with ideas of the tribal as he observed it, choosing his actors from among the local Zulu tribe members. As a result, SILIVA THE ZULU stands virtually alone as a not necessarily authentic record of Zulu life and culture at that time, but certainly the only images we have of a people and their willing collaboration.
