As I Open My Eyes

À peine j'ouvre les yeux

This acclaimed film depicts the clash between culture and family as seen through the eyes of a young Tunisian woman balancing the traditional expectations of her family with her creative life as the singer in a politically charged rock band. AS I OPEN MY EYES offers a nuanced portrait of the individual implications of the incipient Arab Spring.

Nominated for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival. Official Selection at the Toronto International Film Festival.

"This debut feature earns its grown-up wisdom without selling out its youthful idealism." - Sophia Nguyen, Village Voice
