  • Description: This is the North American premiere of Chronovisor, a film that uses the purported invention of a "Chronovisor" device by Father Pellegrino Ernetti as its starting point. The device was claimed to transmit past events as live television. Filmmakers Kevin Walker and Jack Auen follow Columbia scholar Béatrice Courte (portrayed by Anne-Laure Sellier) as she uncovers a conspiracy within a stubbornly analog archive. The film is rich with on-screen text from primary sources, features music by Gustav Holst, and was shot on 16mm in New York City's historic libraries. It is described as a witty literary mystery.
  • Languages: French, English, German, Italian, with English subtitles.
