After secondary school in Algeria, Imène Ayadi studied marketing in Saint-Quentin. She then returned to her first love, cinema, studying filmmaking at ESRA (The Higher School of Audiovisual Production) in Nice. Her father, film director Ali Fateh Ayadi, has shared his passion with her since she was a young child. Imène trained as an assistant director on many projects, short films, documentaries and series. In 2019, she directed her first short film, 'The Old Kalbelouz', with Ahmed Benaïssa in the main role. With 'Anya', her second film, she revives her childhood memories from the Algerian Black Decade to discuss an intense subject: a child's premature discovery of death.
