Hooptime

An invitation to journey across a world of basketball courts, captured from every horizon—from Los Angeles’s golden light to New York’s restless pulse, from the historic textures of Beirut and Paris to the urban energy of London and RomeJoin Rami and his son, Noé, on a visual journey where their shared love of basketball becomes a universal language—one that bridges cultures and forges unexpected human connections. Over 11 years, camera and basketball in hand, their travels have revealed far more than the beauty of the game: they’ve uncovered the extraordinary power of hoops to unite people, turning strangers into lifelong friends. Along the way, they gather the voices and dreams of players and companions including Nick Ansom, founder of the legendary VeniceBall league; pro-player and artist Elvin Rodriguez; writer and NBA expert Yann Ohnona; former pro Juan Aísa, founder of YouFirst Sport; artist and influencer Joana Hanna; ex-player and agent Xavier Calvaire; musician and former pro Darren Lee; NBA trainer Tarek Ghafari; Jean-Philippe Doho, Gaspard Chaine, Ludovic Kancel, and many others.Through Rami’s lens, the game becomes a portrait of joy, community, and human connection. Step into the world of Hooptime, where every hoop tells a story, every court becomes a stage, and every game adds a new chapter to a larger, ever-growing narrative of shared passion and belonging.
