Sirāt

Writer/Director: Óliver Laxe
Starring: Sergi López

The 2025 Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize winner follows a father (López) and his son as they arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. They’re searching for Mar — daughter and sister — who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party in the desert. As they venture deeper into the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to confront their own limits.

 

Keeper

Written by Nick Lepard
Starring: Tatiana Maslany, Rossif Sutherland

A couple escapes for a romantic anniversary weekend at a secluded cabin. When Malcolm (Sutherland) suddenly returns to the city, Liz (Maslany) finds herself isolated and in the presence of an unspeakable evil that unveils the cabin’s horrifying secrets.

Starring: Oscar Trescanini, Alma Jodorowsky

Set in 2075, the 2025 Cannes Film Festival winning film follows Iris, a 10-year-old girl, who sees a mysterious boy in a rainbow suit fall from the sky. It’s Arco. Iris will take him in and help him by any means possible to get home.
