Neon has launched the official trailer for Sirāt, one more movie from the distributor that stands to be an awards contender this season. Directed by Oliver Laxe, written by Laxe and Santiago Fillol, and starring Sergi López, Bruno Núñez, Stefania Gadda, and Jade Oukid, Sirāt follows a father who, along with his younger son in tow, goes in search of his lacking daughter within the mountains and deserts of southern Morocco.
Lius’ (López) daughter vanished at one of many wild events occurring within the desert, and he and Esteban (Núñez) find yourself following a gaggle of ravers who’re headed to a ultimate celebration the place she could possibly be. However issues do not go as deliberate as they confront varied risks on this panorama. Sirāt might be launched in New York and Los Angeles on February 6, adopted by a wider launch someday later in February.
Take a look at the trailer for Sirāt beneath:
The trailer exhibits Lius passing round his daughter’s photograph and talking with the ravers who present him along with his final lead, but in addition illustrates the hazardous terrain, whereas suggesting that battle with the opposite folks traversing the desert arises. This could possibly be the largest movie but from director Laxe, who can also be identified for 2016’s Mimosas and 2019’s Fireplace Will Come.
Sirāt has earned two nominations for the 2026 Golden Globes — Finest Movement Image, Non-English Language and Finest Authentic Rating — and is shortlisted in 5 classes for the forthcoming Academy Awards: Finest Worldwide Characteristic (Spain’s official submission), Finest Casting, Finest Cinematography, Finest Music (Authentic Rating), and Finest Sound. Thus, Sirāt has emerged as a sleeper Oscar contender.
Neon is having an excellent awards season, backing a number of doubtless Finest Image nominees and a range that can most likely account for a lot of the Finest Worldwide Characteristic class. Neon’s releases this 12 months embrace Sentimental Worth, It Was Simply an Accident, No Different Alternative, The Secret Agent, and Arco, in addition to Sirāt. The Secret Agent was this 12 months’s Critics’ Alternative winner for Finest International Language Movie.
Sirāt might be competing in opposition to all of those movies (apart from Arco) on the Golden Globes this Sunday, whereas The Secret Agent, Sentimental Worth, and It Was Simply an Accident are all up for Finest Movement Image, Drama (with Hamnet or Sinners being the doubtless winner on this class). However a shock win on the Globes for Sirāt might unexpectedly affect its awards probabilities going ahead.
ScreenRant named Sirāt as certainly one of its Prime 10 Films of 2025 (in addition to Sentimental Worth and It Was Simply an Accident). SR‘s Graeme Guttmann describes the film as being “like a drug journey gone unhealthy […] a wild and apocalyptic epic, mythological in scale however intimate in its story about household.” However it stays to be seen how a late theatrical launch might impression its recognition.
