“Revisiting her life as a woman and her journey as a filmmaker (…) [the film] speaks to each of us (…), to our innermost selves.”

I have super news to share!
Starting Wednesday, I will be on the jury at the Cannes Film Festival for l’Oeil d’or, the new documentary prize started by the Scam last year.

A full year behind, and another one ahead…
Dear Friends,
As the new year is starting, in addition to wishing you a wonderful 2014, I wanted to give you a quick digest of what’s coming ahead and of what has happened in the last few months…
First, for the news that’s right around the corner: I am off to India very soon for a nine-month Fulbright Fellowship! I’ll be based in Kolkata and traveling regularly to the Northeast of the country to research my next film.

Dear Friends,
I’m thrilled to announce that all of my films, including MY NEIGHBOR MY KILLER, The GACACA Trilogy, and ICE PEOPLE are now available for the home market, on my newly launched, completely revamped website, www.anneaghionfilms.com! The films are available for rental in streaming VOD worldwide…

The Institut National de l’Audiovisuel (INA)—the organization charged with preserving and providing access to France’s audiovisual history—has acquired a unique collection of footage shot between 2001 and 2009 by French-American documentarian Anne Aghion, during the production of her series of award-winning TV and feature films on post-genocide Rwanda.

Between Sandy and the elections, I know this is a crazy time… I got away with just no power for a few days. My thoughts go to all of you who weren’t as lucky. I just wanted to tell you I am off to California for the rest of the week. For those of you in the San Francisco/Bay Area, it is my honor to have been invited to deliver the keynote address at the Interdisciplinary Conference on Conscience, organized by Stanford University’s Europe Center.

Dear Supporters,
We recently shipped out the DVD boxset of the Gacaca Trilogy – the last of our Kickstarter rewards! So a little over a year after you joined Assumpta Mugiraneza and me on the establishment of IRIBA Center, I wanted to give you a brief status update.

Greetings from the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center on Lake Como where I am spending the month working on my next project. Check out the talk I did at TEDxESCP in Paris speaking about my work as a documentary filmmaker. View it it here and share at will!
