MUBI presents
MUBI invites us into this deep listening experience, made possible by our acoustically treated room with high-fidelity sound. We are pausing our regular programming to host a total of six deep listening sessions. In addition to the sessions, SIRÃT and MUBI are taking over our space to offer a tea and aroma experience inspired by Morocco, while also transforming our gallery with an exhibition of stills from SIRÃT.
Hi-Fi Stereo
We play digital audio of the highest quality through our analog system: tube amplifiers and OJAS KO-R1 speakers. Designed by Devon Turnbull, the KO-R1 creates hyper-realistic and detailed, warm and natural soundscapes. They generate absolute presence in the sound. In our space designed for deep listening, you will discover hidden details, textures, and movements impossible to feel in headphones.
why SIRĀT
The Spanish director Oliver Laxe’s fourth feature film stood out in 2025 as the winner of the Jury Prize at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. And in the last awards season of 2026, it also stood out by winning six awards at the 40th Goya Awards — including Best Original Music and Best Sound. In addition, it was nominated for Best Original Score and Best Non-English Language Film at the 83rd Golden Globes; and for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound at the 98th Academy Awards. The renowned French DJ Kangding Ray was responsible for the original music, a soundtrack made up of 12 tracks full of techno, synthesizers, and mechanical sounds that accompany the viewer throughout the entire film. An intense sensory experience that, through its abstract and experimental approach, creates a latent and inexplicable emotion.

community rules

FAQ
can i cancel my ticket?+
yes. cancel any booking through this website. you'll get credits for the seats you paid for if you cancel at least 24 hours before the session (12 hours if you have an active Sona Members or All Access subscription). inside that window the booking can still be cancelled, but no credits are issued and there are no cash refunds. credits work on any future session.
is there a dress code?+
no, but we recommend wearing something comfortable for sitting on the floor. because the room is very quiet, we recommend soft fabrics. try to avoid "noisy" synthetic materials like nylon or windbreakers, as the sound of moving in them can be distracting to others. also, we leave our shoes at the door, so we recommend wearing warm socks.
what if i can't sit on the floor?+
if you need a chair for medical or physical reasons, please let us know when you arrive.
can i buy a drink?+
yes, we serve a curated selection of non-alcoholic drinks and light snacks, but all refreshments must be finished before you enter the soundroom.
