AURORA was an annual festival based in Norwich, UK which focused on the moving image in the most diffuse sense. A uniquely multidisciplinary, progressive event, it fused artist retrospectives and thematic film programmes with discussion events, live performance and installations, alongside the very best new work from across the world for space and screen. Its last edition was in November 2009. End of AURORAAURORA has come to an end following its discontinuation by Norwich University College of the Arts, its principal funder. While this site is still live, you can find out more here about the history of the festival, and festival editions.
