Casablanca Beats (Arabic: علي صوتك, romanized: ʿali sawtek, lit. 'raise your voice'; French: Haut et Fort, lit. 'high and loud') is a 2021 Moroccan drama film directed by Nabil Ayouch. In June 2021, the film was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. The film was produced by Ali n' Productions.
