Eröffnung Filmreihe: Aurora's Sunrise

The incredible true story of Aurora Mardiganian comes vividly alive in Inna Sahakyan’s poignant retelling of a teenage genocide survivor who briefly rose to fame as the star of Auction of Souls – a silent Hollywood dramatization of her own life. Masterfully combining archival footage and animation, this harrowing but also stirring docudrama is a revelatory testimony of the unimaginable human toll of the 1915 genocide and its pernicious role in the formation of the Armenian diaspora.
