All the glamorous actress Nour really wants is a cigarette, but she agrees to do a quick interview about her latest film on a TV chat show. It starts well, but suddenly the atmosphere changes, the host becomes hostile and the questions tacky. When Nour storms out on camera with her sister Abrar, the interview immediately goes viral: it’s a PR disaster. Back at home, Nour licks her wounds when Abrar reminds her that she has organized a lavish party and she has to attend. She has no choice but to appear, smiling. Turns out, it’s a 30th birthday party in Nour’s honor. As the sneering guests arrive, a dance troupe puts on a ridiculous show and Nour is forced to make a speech. She decides to take back control.

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"
SEVEN SUMMITS
Director: Amir El-Shenawy
Saudi adventurer Badr Al-Shibani embarks on a quest: to climb the highest peak on each of the world's seven continents. Seven Summits documents his journey, which is as much a test of survival as it is a personal voyage of self-discovery. From the most remote and toughest peaks to his ultimate challenge on Mount Everest, Al-Shibani's story is a powerful exploration of human resilience, the search for identity and the firm drive to push past both physical and internal limits.
