Description

2026, 100 minutes

Directed by Jack Auen, Kevin Walker

 

While writing a monograph on historical theories of memory, Béatrice (Anne Laure Sellier), a respected academic, becomes beguiled by the allegedly true story of the Chronovisor, an occult device said to reproduce visuals from any point in history on a TV screen. Her obsession with the mysterious machine drags her from her Upper East Side apartment through the depths of New York City’s hidden libraries, to the edge of a breakthrough.

 

"Don’t miss CHRONOVISOR all hail CHRONOVISOR"

— Jane Schoenbrun (director, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma)

 

"Wonderfully unclassifiable. A tantalizing armchair mystery steeped in occult-ish authenticity [and] a sly commentary on our own relationship to the pursuit of curiosity. A singular indie."

— Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
