(Jack Auen, Kevin Walker, US 2026, 99 min., DCP)
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. Rather than casting a traditional actor in the lead role, the directors turned to Sellier, a professor of Behavioral Sciences and a published author of works on time perception, creativity, and cognitive biases. Combining 16mm film and CRT images, Chronovisor looks and feels like no other film.
