AURORA is a unique festival based in Norwich which focuses on the moving image in the most diffuse sense. Join us at the unique FESTIVAL WEEKEND (13 - 15 November), an antidote to the ever-bigger, ever-faster policy forced upon moving image festivals and attempt to create a temporary community, in which divisions between guest artists and audience are dismantled.
