Sirāt – 12 June
Film (2025). Oliver Laxe’s Sirât presents a hypnotic and immersive narrative set in the deserts of North Africa, chronicling a father and son’s search for their missing daughter following her disappearance at an underground rave in Morocco. As the protagonists move from one remote gathering to the next, their quest evolves into an exploration of spiritual, existential, and ultimately unknowable dimensions.
From ScreenHub’s five-star review:
Sirât, the immaculately staged near-apocalypse from Oscar-nominated French-Galician filmmaker Óliver Laxe, has no interest in easing you in. Or out.
Instead, as the film opens, we’re thrust headlong into a juddering blast of bone-crunching bass that annihilates our senses. A fortress-like barricade of towering speakers is arrayed at the foot of a cliff, somewhere in the southern Morrocco end of the Sahara. A light show dances on this foreboding canvas as a drugged-up throng surrender themselves to the beat. Read more …
