Chōra | An AuroraVision Anthology

Chōra | An AuroraVision Anthology is an ambitious speculative short film made up of five distinct storyworlds, all connected by Chōra, a strange membrane between realities where the memories, systems, and beliefs of many worlds overlap.

The anthology moves through five unique flavours of sci-fi: Momentum, a surreal journey of the consciousness after life; Second Genesis, a post-collapse mythology where a robot is worshipped as a god; God Complex, a story of future faith and artificial intelligence on an alien world; Octopod, a cyberpunk exploration of labour, debt, and automated control; and Cōherence, the connective Chōra story that threads the worlds together through the Observer and the Chorus Orb.

Together, these stories form one connected anthology film and a creative showcase for AuroraVision’s emerging filmmakers, artists, performers, designers, producers, and VFX collaborators in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. The project is about building bold, strange, artist-driven sci-fi worlds, and creating space for ambitious independent genre filmmaking in our local creative community.
