Sirât

Óliver Laxe’s intense desert drama has been nominated for two Academy Awards – Best International Feature and Best Sound. 

A father and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco, searching for Mar, their missing daughter and sister. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they 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.

Amaya Bañuelos Marco, DCA's Cinema Young Audiences Coordinator says:

Laxe has built a name with his daring and unfettered approach to narrative filmmaking, and I have been intrigued by his work ever since I watched his debut film Todos vós sodes capitáns. Sirât promises to be best experienced on a large screen to fully immerse yourself in the impressive desert landscapes and hypnotic sound system of the rave parties.
