DJ Ahmet
Director: Georgi M. Unkovski | Year: 2025 | Rating: PG 13+ | Run time: 99 mins | Country: North Macedonia | Genre: Comedy, Drama | Language: Macedonian, Turkish with English subtitles
A tender coming-of-age tale about finding solace and rebellion through electronic dance music.
In a remote North Macedonian village, 15-year-old Ahmet finds escape and joy in music, sharing dance and laughter with his younger brother Naim, who has fallen mute since their mother’s death. Pressured to quit school and help their grieving father with the sheep, Ahmet must also navigate the conservative traditions of his Yuruk community and the ache of forbidden first love. Georgi M. Unkovski’s delightful debut radiates warmth and colour — from day-glo sheep to bright traditional costumes — celebrating music as medicine, resilience, and a tender unifying force.
Doors Open: 4:00 pm | Screening Starts: 4:30 pm | Cocktail Bar & Restaurant open from 3:00 pm
Sirat
Director: Oliver Laxe | Year: 2025 | Rating: Unclassified 18+ | Run time: 115 mins | Country: France, Spain | Genre: Adventure, Drama, Music | Language: French, Spanish with English subtitles
Shot against the stark beauty of the Sahara, this hypnotic odyssey fuses propulsive techno, grief, and raw possibility into a charged meditation on love, loss, and survival at the edge of collapse.
Set in a near-apocalyptic future, Sirât follows Luis (Sergi López, Pan’s Labyrinth) and his young son Esteban (Brúno Nuñez) across the vast Moroccan desert, searching for his daughter who vanished at a rave months earlier. Moving from party to party, they join itinerant ravers seeking freedom from looming conflict and chasing whispers of a semi-mythical final gathering near the Mauritanian border. Winner of the Jury Prize at 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
Contains strong violence, drug use, and strong themes.
Doors Open: 7:00 pm | Screening Starts: 7:30 pm | Cocktail Bar & Restaurant open from 3.00 pm
