At just 25, Tunisian-French filmmaker Kenz Benmosbah is preparing to make her feature debut with I Think She Hates Me, a romantic comedy that reframes the pain of first heartbreak for a global, Gen-Z audience. Told across dual timelines, the film explores the highs of falling in love and the gut-punch of losing it - blending emotional honesty with sharp comedic timing.

Benmosbah’s journey began at the Manarat Film Festival in Tunis, where she worked under acclaimed producing partners Dora Bouchoucha (Academy member) and Lina Chaabane, two pioneers of contemporary Tunisian cinema. Their mentorship introduced her to the inner workings of Mediterranean film culture and built the collaborative foundation she continues to draw from today.
