Born in France in 1981, Aurélia Balboni is a director, writer, editor, and producer of documentaries and sound fiction. After studying sociology and anthropology, she decided to reorient herself toward cinema and creation. She moved to Belgium to study editing at the IAD (Institut des Art de Diffusion). There she developed her taste for documentary and radio. In 2011, she met director Sonia Ringoot, who invited her to edit her radio project In Search for Lands, a documentary about transmission and remembrance. This brand-new experience inspired her to tell the story of her mother, who suffers from a neurodegenerative disease. She went on to produce My Mother’s Words, her first radio documentary. In 2014 she founded Cineke, with the desire to set up training workshops and produce works with a group of independent authors - Sonia Ringoot, Nicolas François, Pascale Brischoux, and Celia Dessardo. For several years now, she has been teaching documentary radio at the IAD. Her latest documentary, Brothers, was co-directed with Nicolas François in 2021.
