Aurora 2009 logoThe next (and sadly last) edition of the Aurora film festival will take place in Norwich, UK on 13-15th November. Aurora is a unique film festival, which focuses in creating a 'temporary community' breaking down the traditional barrier between audience and artists.

This year's highlights include programmes of work by artists Jem Cohen (New York), Milena Gierke (Berlin) and Jon Bang Carlsen (Copenhagen), introduced by the artists; discussion sessions about the moving image as social project with Beatrice Gibson (A necessary music), Shezad Dawood (Feature), Mark Wilsher and Graeme Hogg; and about the moving image and the social network with Jamie King (Steal this film), Richard Wright, Andrew Kotting and Gareth Evans; and thematic film programmes with work by Ben Rivers, Lucy Parker, Nick Collins and others, introduced by the artists.

Live music comes in the form of an exclusive double set from the great Alasdair Roberts and Jarman Award winner Luke Fowler; DJ sets from Emma Pettit & Nick Luscombe (Roots & Shoots) and more besides. Exhibitions as part of the wider festival include Ultra-Red / The Rural Racism Project and Stray, a series of new polaroids and black and white prints by Jem Cohen.
