Aída Torrent

Director Aida Torrent Ciudad (Lleida, 1981) was born in a family of teachers, so she has always wanted to combine this pedagogical legacy with her passion for filming, trying to explain the world of the kids from her own point of view. Torrent was Graduated in Communication Studies at Raimon Llull University in 2005 in Barcelona and took a Postgraduate Studies on Direction of Photography in ESCAC in 2005. She directed several TV reports for TVE (Spanish public TV) and TV3 (Catalan public TV) with social subjects. In 2009 she released a short-length documentary about a 10-year-old girl who lives in a circus and have to change schools at least every two weeks to follow the circus tour: 'La Filla del Circ' ('The daughter of the circus') was broadcasted in Televisio de Catalunya (TVC) and shown in the International Documentary Film Festival Docs Barcelona in 2010. After releasing this documentary, she started to work as a director and director of photography in TV series, web-docs and short length documentaries, developing her own visual style: warm, cinematographic and sensitive. The same style that permeates her documentary 'Don't Stop'.
