"Aurora's Sunrise": a Genocide documentary with animation, was the sensation and the discovery of the 2022 Golden Apricot Fest "Review by Alex Deleon "Aurora's Sunrise": a Genocide documentary with animation, was the sensation and the discovery of the 2022 Golden Apricot film festival in Yerevan. More than a genocide tale, it is one of the long suppression and eventual resurrection of the life and testimony of an indomitable genocide survivor, Aurora Mardiganian (a.k.a Arshaluys Mardigian) , who lived to retell her tale at age 83, when an Armenian American scholar from Zoryan Institute tracked her down after her tale was supressed and neglected for over half a century.
With her immediate family all murdered by the Turks, then pressed into slavery by the Kurds, Aurora was finally liberated and shipped to the States via Norway in the end of 1917.
Even for Hollywood’s silent film, the scene was so horiffic, that they changed it to crucifixion of women, By orchestrating and directing this masterpiece of documentary art, Inna Sahakyan has carved out a permanent place for herself in the history of Armenian cinema.
