Movie Time: Sirat - Burns Court Cinema

🎬 Sunday Movie Meetup at Burns Court Cinema
Join us for a leisurely Sunday afternoon at Burns Court Cinema as we experience one of the most acclaimed international films of the year.

🎥 Film: Sirât (2025)
A father and son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco, searching for Mar—daughter and sister—who vanished months earlier at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Moving from one gathering to the next, they hand out her photograph as hope slowly fades. When a group of ravers heads toward a final party in the desert, father and son follow. As the journey pushes deeper into the burning wilderness, both are forced to confront their own physical and emotional limits.

Set against a hypnotic electronic soundtrack and stark desert landscapes, Sirât is a haunting, immersive meditation on loss, endurance, and the search for meaning.

“A wild ride and explosive mastery of story, themes, and emotion—thrilling, unsettling, and unforgettable.”
— Chicago International Film Festival Jury
