(ANSAmed) - ROME, JUNE 4 - Haut et Fort, or 'Casablanca Beats' in English, is a film by Nabyl Ayouch in the official competition of the 74th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
    This will be the first time since 1962 that a Moroccan film will be in the running for the top award.
    Set in a cultural center in an outskirts, Les Etoiles de Sidi Moumen, the film focuses on the young people in the rough-and-tumble poor area of Morocco's financial capital and an elderly professor who arrives to teach hip-hop.
    The center was founded in 2014 by Mahi Binebine, a Moroccan artist and writer, after the success of a book written by Binebine, on which Ayouch has based another one of his successful films, "Horses of God". (ANSAmed).
