FRANCE24, 15 Jul 2021
Nabil Ayouch says he can barely believe his movie, "Casablanca Beats", is the first #Moroccan #film in almost 60 years to compete for the Palme d'Or at #Cannes. His is only the second Moroccan film ever chosen for the official selection at Cannes, after Abdelaziz Ramdani's "Ames et rythmes" back in 1962. "Casablanca Beats" - the French-Moroccan director's seventh feature - is about young people seeking an outlet through hip hop. FRANCE 24's Florence Villeminot lives from La Croisette.
