Sirât, the buzzy new film from director Oliver Laxe, is making its way to The Frida Cinema hot off of the heels of getting nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film!

The story follows a man and his son arrive at a rave lost in the mountains of Morocco. They are looking for Marina, their daughter and sister, who disappeared months ago at another rave. Driven by fate, they decide to follow a group of ravers in search of one last party, in hopes Marina will be there.

Sirât won the prestigious Jury Prize at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and continues to stack up awards worldwide. Critics are praising the film for being one of the most intense and original films of 2025, with many noting that it demands to be seen on the big screen. Now’s your chance!
