Icflix partners on Casablanca film

Middle Eastern and North African video-on-demand service Icflix has teamed up with Moroccan director Noureddine Lakhmari to coproduce a film set in Casablanca.

Burn Out will debut next year in select cinemas worldwide and also exclusively to Icflix subscribers globally.

Written and directed by Lakhmari (Zero, Casanegra), the project revolves around three main characters from different social backgrounds: a rich man who drives a Maserati through the streets of Casablanca; a 13-year-old boy who shines shoes in an attempt to earn enough money to pay for a foot prosthesis for his mother; and a young woman who is a student by day and call girl at night.

In a statement, Dubai-based Icflix said this will be the “first of many cinematic productions planned for Morocco.”

Icflix started its own original productions in 2014 with HIV and Al Makida and will also premiere Dunia, its first original Arabic animation production for kids next month.
