Sirāt

The thundering bass of an illegal rave in the Moroccan desert. A father, with his son, searches among the gyrating dancers for his missing daughter. A group of seasoned ravers reveal to them that a final event will be taking place in another desert location, and they follow the revellers across the barren wastes towards this last party, only to be confronted by their own existential limits.

A deserving winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Sirāt demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible.

The film will be introduced by a CIFF Programmer and the audience is invited to stay afterwards for a hosted Cine Club discussion.

Cinema Release date: Friday 27 February
