Few films have captured the magnetic pull of music with such intensity. In Sirāt, bass frequencies ripple through vast landscapes, bodies gather and scatter, and the party becomes the starting point of a journey whose destination no one can foresee. Between mineral expanses, relentless quests and a longing for community, Óliver Laxe creates a work of striking visual and emotional power.

Driven by daring direction and Kangding Ray’s spellbinding score, Sirāt moves to the pulse of electronic music, maintaining a constant tension between collective euphoria and existential vertigo. Presented in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, where it left a profound impression on both critics and audiences, the film has emerged as one of the year's most singular and unforgettable cinematic experiences.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with director Óliver Laxe and composer Kangding Ray. As a prelude to this exceptional evening, audiences will also discover Vacío Luminoso by Uberto Rapisardi, a sensitive and intimate immersion into the epic making of Laxe’s film.

On the same day at 18:00, a screening of Vacío Luminoso (87 mins) by Uberto Rapisardi
Films documenting epic, near-impossible productions have become a genre in their own right — Vacío Luminoso belongs firmly to that tradition. Following Óliver Laxe during the making of Sirāt, Uberto Rapisardi captures the traces of an adventure shaped by poetry, exhaustion, flashes of inspiration and moments of collective exhilaration.

We glimpse the questions and working methods that drive the Franco-Spanish filmmaker, but the true heart of the film lies elsewhere. What makes this document so distinctive is the relationship of trust between the two directors, and the freedom of perspective that grows from it. More than a conventional making-of, Vacío Luminoso explores the points of friction between artistic ambition and reality, between physical endurance and spiritual quest. As the days unfold in the desert, certainties begin to waver, doubts surface and moments of grace emerge unexpectedly. A rare document, both raw and luminous, revealing one of cinema’s most adventurous qualities: its ability to transform the unknown into a shared experience.
