Movie Meetup — Sirât — Meet from 7:15, film at 8:40

“Is this what the end of the world feels like?”

We're going to see Oliver Laxe’s Cannes Jury Prize winner, Sirât.

We'll meet in the Watershed cafe/bar from 7:15 pm, to say hello and chat. Afterwards, we will stop for a few minutes to talk about the film.

Buy your own ticket from the box office or online.

** Part of the French Film Festival on Tour 2025, there is only one screening and it will almost certainly sell out. **

ABOUT THE FILM

"One of the most mesmerising films of the year, Oliver Laxe’s Cannes Jury Prize winner Sirât draws inspiration from the Sirāt Bridge, which in Islamic tradition separates hell from heaven where the soul is confronted with its true nature.

"Luis (Sergi López), a committed father who embarks on a journey with his son to search for his eldest daughter, Marina, after she disappears at a rave deep in the mountains of Morocco. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again."
— Watershed Summary

"A fever dream in the bleakest sense, Sirat is a wild and apocalyptic epic, mythological in scale but intimate in its story about family."
— Graeme Guttmann, Screen Rant

"An unforgettable portrait of the search for unity at the edge, and end, of the world."
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

"Sirât is a truly staggering and major film, one that has to be seen to be believed – a masterful gambit of affectionate character and community building that mutates into a work that deals with the primal instincts of human survival and the idea that we create our own gods through the things that we chose to worship."
— David Jenkins, Little White Lies
