Sorcery and witchcraft sound like phrases from a bygone era.
But to people in the highlands of Papua New Guinea, they are accusations that carry the threat of violence - and for too many - the experience of it.
Paul Wolframm is a Kiwi filmmaker who's lived and worked in PNG, immersing himself in the community and learning the language and customs.
His latest work is a documentary which focuses on the work of human rights defender Evelyn Kunda.
Evelyn travels the highlands, trying to help victims of sanguma - or sorcery violence.
She's experienced it herself, yet continues to risk danger to help feed, resettle and protect those driven from their villages. Paul's film Marimari - meaning compassion - looks at sanguma and how Evelyn fights for those accused of it.
It's playing as part of the New Zealand International Film Festival.
