“We Are All Broken”: Oliver Laxe on Sirât, healing through cinema and desert raves

In this powerful Popcorn Podcast interview, director Oliver Laxe joins us to discuss Sirāt, his Cannes Jury Prize-winning, Academy Award-nominated film redefining modern arthouse cinema. Set against the vast Moroccan desert, Sirāt follows a father and son searching for a missing daughter in the world of underground rave culture. But as Laxe reveals, the film is far more than a simple pilgrimage for answers.
