Masterclass Nabil Ayouch
Nabil Ayouch is one of the most important filmmakers of his generation. Held in conjunction with the official selection of Haut et fort (Casablanca Beats) at the FIFDH, this Masterclass is devoted to his bold, ever-changing work, which constantly explores and questions the margins of Moroccan society. His first feature film, Mektoub, became the first film to represent Morocco at the Oscars in 1997. Ali Zaoua, Prince of the Street (2000), Much Loved (2016) and Razzia (2018) have also enjoyed successful careers internationally. Nabil Ayouch is also the founder of the Moroccan Coalition for Cultural Diversity (2003) and Meda Films Development (2006), which supports producers and scriptwriters South of the Mediterranean.

Casablanca Beats
By Nabil Ayouch
Anas, a former rapper, is hired as an animator in a cultural centre in Casablanca. With his help, the teenagers will embrace rap and hip-hop as a means of expressing their rage, fears and rejection of tradition. Inspired by his childhood, Nabil Ayouch (Much Loved, Razzia) captures the energy of a Moroccan youth on the verge of implosion, its furious need for change and the liberating power of music, carried by an outstanding cast of young non-professional actors.
