About

At an outdoor rave in the Saharan desert, a father is searching for his missing daughter. Amid news reports of a world war, he links up with a band of eccentric nomads and caravans across the blasted landscape towards one last party… if they can make it. A superb fusion of techno trance and Mad Max overdrive, Sirat ranks high among the year’s most gripping and unforgettable big screen experiences. Winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes and named one of 2025’s best films by The New Yorker, Sight & Sound, Indiewire, and John Waters. (MK)
