'Sirāt' and Finding Community in the End of the World

MAR 4, 202634 MIN

Description

<div>We have a special bonus episode this week: I’m joined by Óliver Laxe, the director of the Oscar-nominated <em>Sirāt</em>, to discuss his film about a rave at the end of the world and how we can find community in an age of dislocation and isolation. I wanted to get this out now because a.) the film is expanding this weekend, b.) Laxe himself will be in attendance at a handful of shows across the country over the next week or two here, and c.) it really is the sort of movie you need to see in a theater. For the sound system and the big picture, yes, but also the sense of community a packed theatrical showing can generate. You’ll want to experience it with other people, believe me.</div>
