"Aurora's Sunrise" is an internationally animated documentary about Aurora Mardiganian.It's a true story about how a 14-year-old girl escaped death during the Armenian Genocide, fled to New York and became a silent film star. "Aurora's story is one of the rare ones," said Inna Sahakyan, the film's director. The story becomes vivid again through the dynamic combination of mediums, animation, archival interviews with Aurora herself, and digitally restored footage.Back in 2014, Sahakyan was doing research for a different project at the Zoryan Institute in Canada when she stumbled upon Aurora's testimony recorded in 1984 when she was 84 years old. In the footage, Aurora is holding a poster for "Auction of the Souls" from 1919, a silent 20-minute film that depicted the tragic events of the genocide. Aurora played herself, an orphan teenager, kidnapped, raped, and then sold into slavery. Through a series of miraculous events, she escaped and moved to New York when she was 17.

SAN FRANCISCO — In between hugs and hellos and how’ve you beens, Darin Ruf arrived at his locker in the Giants clubhouse Wednesday afternoon. Almost a year to date since he was on the move in their season-opening win in 2022, some seven months since he was surprisingly sent on the move to New York, and two weeks since his brief tenure there came to an unceremonious end, Ruf was back where he wanted to be all along, with the Giants in San Francisco.“The hugs I got to give today,” Ruf said, “were a lot better than the hugs I got to give back in August. It was great to see everybody.”Designated for assignment by the Mets after spring training, Ruf had to wait a week as he went unclaimed through the waiver process. He didn’t initially see a reunion with the Giants in the cards, but a string of left-handed pitching and injuries to right-handed hitting outfielders Mitch Haniger and Austin Slater opened a door. The Giants wasted no time getting Ruf in th...Latest news
