Overview
- The film premiered in the Bright Future competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and later played at New Directors/New Films before its U.S. launch.
- Journalists released the first full trailer on Thursday, August 20, highlighting the film’s archival visuals and conspiratorial tone.
- Grasshopper Film will open Chronovisor in select U.S. theaters starting September 4 with an initial screening at Film at Lincoln Center.
- Chronovisor is a 100-minute docufiction by Kevin Walker and Jack Auen that blends 16mm analogue cinematography with archival text-driven storytelling and experimental video art.
- Anne-Laure Sellier stars as Béatrice, a Columbia-affiliated scholar drawn into the Pellegrino Ernetti Chronovisor legend, and Jason Zuriff produced the feature; critics frame the movie as a literary, festival-to-theater art-house project rather than a factual claim about the device.
