Sirât – 2026 Oscar-Nominated Film at OKCMOA
A 2026 Oscar nominee and winner of the Cannes Jury Prize, this visionary road movie from Galician filmmaker Oliver Laxe follows a father’s desperate search for his missing daughter within a nomadic raver community roaming the deserts of southern Morocco.
In Spanish, French, English, and Arabic with English subtitles. (115 minutes)
“The glorious and forbidding Moroccan desert provides the backdrop for this extraordinary psychological journey from Oliver Laxe (Fire Will Come), a Galician filmmaker of startling ambition. Sergi López plays middle-aged Luis, whose worry over the disappearance of his daughter Mar has brought him, along with his young son, to Morocco. He believes she has fallen in with a group of nomadic thrill-seekers who are in pursuit of the next big rave in the desert. Tagging along with them in a makeshift caravan in the hopes he will find Mar, Luis is pushed toward emotional and physical extremes that extend far past his everyday comprehension. Even beyond the pulsing techno soundtrack and the majestic desolation of the landscape, Sirāt (the title referring to the Islamic term for the razor-thin bridge between heaven and hell) creates a sensory experience of audacity and shock that touches the sublime. Joint winner of the Jury Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.” -New York Film Festival
A 2026 Academy Award nominee for Best Sound and International Feature (Spain).
