Sirāt

Oscar-nominated for Best International Feature and Best Sound, Oliver Laxe’s brilliantly original Sirāt propels desert ravers into a hallucinatory vision of the future. 

In the Moroccan desert, Luis (Sergi López) and his son Esteban (Brúno Nuñez) join up with a group of ravers while searching for Luis’ daughter. Descending far into the scorched terrain as a global conflict encroaches, they walk a tightrope between heaven and hell. A film about the human condition that swings between euphoria and devastation, soundtracked by ear-splitting techno and whistling desert winds, Sirāt feels like a modern classic. 

"The best film of the year.  An astonishing experience of singularly transfixing power. I left it invigorated and grateful anew for the ground beneath my feet" The New Yorker 

"Left me stunned for days. Fasten your seatbelt” David Byrne
