    Sirens

    Rita BAGHDADI 2022 USA, Lebanon color 79min Arabic, English DCP
    On the outskirts of Beirut, Lilas' band, Slave to Sirens, has big dreams but few opportunities. When its appearance at a UK music festival isn’t the life-changer they had hoped for, Lilas comes home on the brink of collapse. Sirens tells the story of the Middle East’s first all-female metal band whose bandmates wrestle with friendship, sexuality and destruction in their pursuit of becoming thrash metal rock stars.
