SUMMARY:Casablanca Beats: dir Nabil Ayouch (2021)
DESCRIPTION:Nabil Ayouch’s grittily authentic tale of a rapper turned teacher helping his students find their creative voices is a class act. It manages to combine familiar cinematic tropes like ‘strength through making music’ and the inspirational teacher with a taste of social realism\, discursive politics and accessible rebellion. \nShot over 15 months\, which allowed the project to grow organically and gave time for the screen first-timers to develop\, Ayouch’s cinéma vérité style camerawork gives the film a documentary feel\, but Khalid Benghrib’s choreography elevates the action above the everyday through scenes that take the cast from the classroom to the recording studio\, the stage and beyond. Casablanca Beats has an infectious energy that is both enticing and accessible. Highly recommended. \nScreens in the MOVE ON FILM season.

SUMMARY:PowerPointless League of Legends
DESCRIPTION:Season-ending special for one of the most consistently funny of the Courtyard’s classic improv gigs\, a feast of wit\, spontaneity\, and sheer bravery: “fearless guest presenters from this year’s past shows … gather to compete in the ultimate showdown of improvised presentation prowess”. The speakers\, all representing corporate clients of the Courtyard\, have to give a presentation on a slide deck they’ve never seen before\, with the topic determined at random by the Wheel of Destiny. Each presentation will be rated by a panel of judges and the winner applauded as the PowerPointless champion of champions. \nAfterwards there’s a chance to mingle with the presenters and the Courtyard’s Corporate Team for mocktails (and an opportunity to find out more about the Courtyard’s Corporate Academy). \nIt’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist via the website. It’s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat. \n
