Outside the Box [Office], the Armenian Students’ Association, the USC Dornsife Institute of Armenian Studies, and the Armenian Film Society, invite you to join us for a special theatrical screening of Aurora's Sunrise.

Followed by a Q&A with Inna Sahakyan, Dr. Shushan Karapetian, Director of the USC Dornsife Institute of Armenian Studies, Ted Braun, USC Joseph Campbell Endowed Chair in Cinematic Ethics, Armen Karaoghlanian, co-founder of Armenian Film Society, and Myrna Douzjian, Lecturer of Armenian Studies, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at UC Berkeley.

Aurora's Sunrise centers on a survivor of the Armenian Genocide who became a silent movie star. Aurora Mardiganian's odyssey is close to unreal— after losing her family, escaping slavery, and enduring Hollywood greed, she journeys far to tell the world of the Armenian Genocide.
