classified 15Subtitled screening
Featuring a bold and bouncing soundtrack by Kangding Ray, Oliver Laxe's Oscar®-nominated for Best International Feature, Sirât is a staggering cinematic experience set in the dusty mountains of southern Morocco.
A father and his son have arrived at a rave deep in the mountains. They’re searching for Mar — daughter and sister — who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties.
Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party in the desert. As they venture deeper into the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to confront their own limits.
Introduced by the film's composer Kangding Ray.
