'Sirât', rival of 'The Secret Agent' at the Oscars, wins six awards at Goya

The film 'Sirât' won six awards at the 40th Goya Awards, establishing itself as a strong competitor in the Oscar race for Best International Film.

'Sirât', directed by Oliver Laxe, emerged as a major winner at the 40th Goya Awards held in Barcelona, taking home six awards out of ten nominations, primarily in technical categories such as best sound, original music, and cinematography. This film is notable for competing with 'The Secret Agent' for the Best International Feature Film category at the upcoming Oscars.

Despite its technical accolades, 'Sirât' did not win any of the main awards, which went to 'Sundays', directed by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa. 'Sundays' impressed the audience and the jury alike, securing best film, direction, screenplay, and two acting awards, showcasing a strong narrative and performances by its lead actresses, Patricia López Arnaíz and Nagore Aramburu. The contrast in achievements highlights the diverse strengths of Spanish cinema recognized at this year's ceremony.

In addition to its success at the Goya Awards, 'Sirât' also previously won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2025, further enhancing its prestige and visibility in international circles. The film's nominations extend to the Oscars, where it will compete not only for Best International Feature but also for Best Sound, solidifying its status as a formidable player on the global stage of cinema.
