Sirat15

Directed by Oliver Laxe | Spain | 2025 | 1h 54m | Spanish, French & Arabic w/ English subtitles | Starring Sergi López, Bruno Núñez Arjona, Stefania Gadda, Joshua Liam Herderson, Richard 'Bigui' Bellamy

A father and his son travel to a remote rave in the mountains of southern Morocco, searching for Marina, a relative who disappeared months earlier at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Surrounded by pulsing electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they follow a group of ravers toward a final desert party, hoping it will lead them to her. Oliver Laxe’s award-winning, hallucinatory road movie is a tense, unforgettable journey, and a stark reminder that sometimes the path we take matters more than the destination.

Reviews

‘This is original, explosive (literally — you’ll see!) and ovation-worthy, cinema.’
★★★★★

‘If you’re down for a trip, Sirat is The Wages of Fear meets The Vanishing on shrooms; startlingly original, jarringly hilarious and deeply disturbing.’
★★★★★
John Bleasdale, Time Out

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
