City of the Dawn (55 min)
A glimpse through testimony to the story of a city with citizens from more than

themselves spontaneously without fixed rules and laws, without an army or
police”. “ I would like people to feel that coming to Auroville is not coming to an
easy life; it means coming to a gigantic effort for progress.” “Auroville is the
place where this new way of living is being worked out; it is a centre of
accelerated evolution where humanity must begin to change the world through
the power of the inner spirit.”

The Genius of India (29.18 min, English with French Subtitle)
By Auroville Press
Awarded ‘Best Film’ at the Delhi Documentary Film Festival in 2001, this movie
was inspired by a text taken from « The Renaissance in India » by Sri Aurobindo. It
is not a study of ancient India (although it does analyse the powers of the
ancient spirit of India) but it is rather a very precise description of the
instruments that are at the disposal of India for building her future.
