Other movies
ERUPCJA
Director: Pete Ohs
Pack your bags for a weekend in Warsaw, Poland in the company of an ensemble cast of characters who criss-cross, connect and re-connect at pivotal junctures. Bethany (Charli XCX) is on a romantic getaway with Rob (Will Madden), who plans to propose, but she hasn’t been entirely honest about her past, or her friendship with Nel (Lena Góra) a florist. Every time they meet there’s a seismic event, an Erupcja (eruption) which leads them down different paths. With Jeremy O. Harris on hand for advice, Pete Ohs’ film resonates, capturing a mood that feels fresh and filled with possibilities. The film is reminiscent of the New Wave and the Before series, but, like Bethany, Eurpcja is its own force.
SIRÂT
Director: Oliver Laxe
‘Sirat’ is a term referring to the treacherous bridge between heaven and hell. Oliver Laxe’s film is certainly an odyssey and a sonic spectacular: his hypnotic rhythms carve a path for this temporal road movie in which Sergi López plays a father who has taken his son to search for their daughter/sister, missing in Morocco’s nomadic and quasi-feral rave scene. With an apocalypse taking place offscreen, the protagonist flees across a mythical landscape with a crew of non-professional actors. Sirât glimmers between sound and fury, pounds between loss and unfathomable grief, and leads audiences to what feels like the end of creation. Spain’s Oscar entry and 2025 Cannes jury prize winner is that rare cinematic achievement: an indelible gift of sound and vision. "This film contains scenes that may be considered sensitive for some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised"
TRUCK MAMA
Director: Zippy Nyaruri
Truck Mama follows Eva, a single mother and truck driver in Kenya, who navigates dangerous roads to provide for her family. In a male-dominated world, she balances long hauls — including from Kenya to Sudan — calls to her children and daily challenges. This vibrant documentary explores resilience, courage and a mother’s unwavering love as she forges her own path. With breathtaking landscapes and a glimpse into East African life, Truck Mama is an inspiring tribute to women who defy obstacles to pursue their dreams.
