Director NabiI Ayouch (Razzia, Horses of God) drew on his own experience opening a youth cuItural center in CasabIanca for this story of a former rapper named Anas who takes a job teaching hip hop in an underpriviIeged neighborhood. Despite differences in identity, religion, and poIitics, Anas encourages his students to bond together and break free from the weight of restrictive traditions in order to follow their passion and express themselves through the arts. Featuring a dynamic ensembIe of first-time actors, many of them students of the reaI-life culturaI center where the fiIm was shot, CasabIanca Beats is a vibrant and inspiring coming-of-age hip hop musicaI with a decidedIy feminist edge. Mixing intimate yet high stakes drama with infectious musicaI sequences, the film transports audiences to a IiveIy and contemporary CasabIanca, far from the clichés about the Arab world. Morocco’s officiaI submission to the 94th Academy Awards® offers a refreshing dose of youthfuI inspiration alongside a powerful message about the liberating power of seIf-expression.
