'' The Deliverance of Comfort '' is a short satirical fable about a ' child witch ' called Comfort . The film is a critical and densely layered response to the belief in child witches in some parts of rural Nigeria and Africa . The film questions the very nature of belief and comments on the complex relationship between pre-Christian pagan belief and modern day Nigerian Christianity . The relationship between Exu , the Devil , the human spirit and God . Inspired by the low-fi special effects employed in Nigerian Nollywood films especially when the supernatural is being evoked , '' The Deliverance of Comfort '' uses these same techniques but challenges the conservative and unchanging ideas about the supernatural drawing uncomfortable conclusions . '' The Deliverance of Comfort '' was shown at The Toronto International Film Festival in 2011
