60 of 87 · most liked firstgot to see Jack Auen and Kevin Walker’s film Chronovisor tonight and it’s such a marvel of craft, a movie built almost entirely out of library research scenes, with some of the most clever use of onscreen text i’ve ever seen check this movie out if it plays near you
positive · AI labelView post →saw Chronovisor. insane and fascinating movie that I struggle to compare to any film i’ve seen before. reminded me of internet mystery horror like Petscop or Valle Verde in a very good way.
positive · AI labelView post →"This is a movie where most of the action, really almost all of the action, takes place in the library or on the telephone." @leahschnelbach.bsky.social discusses Chronovisor, not-quite horror movies, and the reward of good research:
neutral · AI labelView post →Chronovisor (2026) is a film that dares to ask, "what if a movie was a visual novel?" And if you are like me, the answer to this question is extremely exciting. The first two acts of the movie are spent primarily reading old documents as they meander across the screen, and I loved every second.
positive · AI labelView post →I need all of you narrative game design sickos to watch Chronovisor (2026) It is actually a real trip to watch both this & Resident Evil in the same week: two wholly unlike films that both happen to lean on formalistic storytelling techniques taken straight out of video games. boxd.it/grZhpb
positive · AI labelView post →shout out to the trans girl on I think a date with a cis sitting behind me at CHRONOVISOR. I hope your date was as into the thriller movie entirely about reading books at the library as I was!
positive · AI labelView post →CHRONOVISOR: Kevin Walker & Jack Auen’s pseudo sci-fi horror is stellar, feeling less like a film constructed by people and more one excavated from the recesses of a nightmare.

We added some gate weave, some grain + halation effects to really make it pop, but also make it feel of a piece with the rest of the aesthetic of the film." Chronovisor wld be great to teach archival methods + media archaeology!

neutral · AI labelView post →With “Chronovisor” playing today at Prismatic Ground at Anthology Film Archives, here’s my interview with the directors of this ingenious, engrossing film that’s also a productive model for ultra-low-budget production.
neutral · AI labelView post →Chronovisor is definitely enmeshed with films and styles of the past, appropriately enough. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPt2...
neutral · AI labelView post →Oscilloscope really dropped the ball not picking up Chronovisor. Movies featuring oscilloscopes don't come around every day and you let Grasshopper scoop you? There aren't even any bugs in the movie
positive · AI labelView post →Was this movie made for me?? #filmsky #occult #chronovisor www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPt2...
positive · AI labelView post →The only movie left I really want to watch this year besides You Can See Everything is Chronovisor but idk when its coming out here
neutral · AI labelView post →Chronovisor the paperwork movie that humanists have been aching for! Researching the ineffable in an empty library while wearing crisp monochrome pieces I haven't laundered myself – yes please!
positive · AI labelView post →Directors Jack Auen and Kevin Walker discuss CHRONOVISOR—an “academic noir” shot on #16mm. The filmmakers reflect on casting academic Anne Laure Sellier, using analog research—and exploring technology + spirituality. #movie #film #indie #indiefilm #indiemovie scienceandfilm.org/articles/375...

neutral · AI labelView post →Back home after a week at IFFR. The film of the festival is Chronovisor, but I had a good time with the Tetsuya Maruyama retrospective, the experimental shorts programs, James N. Kienitz Wilkins The Misconceived, Xacio Baño’s After the Cities, and Roy Cohen’s Far From Maine.
positive · AI labelView post →I’ve already seen a number of very good films this year courtesy of the IFFR program. CHRONOVISOR is the best of them but also: THE KILLING OF MEGHNAD (Avikunthak) TYCOON (Zhang) ALL YOU NEED TO MAKE A MOVIE IS A GUN (Sein) XTENDED RELEASE (Solondz) FOR ONCE I DREAMED OF YOU (Solar)
positive · AI labelView post →Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood or whatever (it has been a shit day), but CHRONOVISOR was aggressively not my thing. Yes please, read more, don't mind me sitting here waiting for the film to start.
negative · AI labelView post →Ended up today at the BIEF festival screening of Chronovisor - with Bogdan Lypkhanu. Chronovisor was not even announced. Still such a great indie movie about mnemotechnics, time philosophy. Both Umberto Eco Foucault Pendulum & Indiana Jones Spielbergian air to it. A fav! youtu.be/KPt2iZg7M50?...
positive · AI labelView post →Still thinking about CHRONOVISOR (2026) a few days later, if you are getting a screening of CHRONOVISOR in your area I need you to go see it so I have someone to discuss CHRONOVISOR with grasshopperfilm.com/film/chronov...

positive · AI labelView post →Really excited to be catching this film later this evening at Alamo Drafthouse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DasHk4WvRs #Chronovisor #HorrorFilms
neutral · AI labelView post →Classicists need to see the new movie Chronovisor. Ennius' Thyestes plays a major role. Cicero mentioned in the first shot, and Mynors' OCT of Vergil and the Loeb of Fragmentary Republican Latin are to be found. Not to mention it's a very good movie.
positive · AI labelView post →This battle between the preservation and obfuscation of historical truth is at the heart of CHRONOVISOR, the extraordinary debut film by American writer-director duo Jack Auen and Kevin Walker. bit.ly/4cokVYG
neutral · AI labelView post →My spoken word track PHONECALL released 1/26 about someone discussing an idea for a film about a time-camera that can take photos of the past, predates and predicts “Chronovisor“ about a similar device, directed by Kevin Walker and Jack Auen released April 10, 2026. m.youtube.com/watch?v=02vP...
neutral · AI labelView post →I have now seen a comparison between Chronovisor and Michael Snow’s text-only film So Is This (!!!) so…I am more excited than ever
positive · AI labelView post →Tracy and I saw CHRONOVISOR with our friend Mark last night. This one was sort of weird in that despite being a somewhat bracing art film it is aimed so squarely at my interests and aesthetics that it felt for me like I imagine watching the recent TOP GUN did to people who like American blockbusters
positive · AI labelView post →it is very Borgesian, yes. I didn't realize until after I saw the film that the historical figures (and the Chronovisor) were real.
positive · AI labelView post →no yeah I agree. Great movie. My fav major release of the year so far, second overall after Chronovisor
positive · AI labelView post →This is how I just learned there's a film about the Chronovisor and now I'm going to track down a screening as fast as I can.

positive · AI labelView post →Immediately need to see CHRONOVISOR (2026) again and possibly a third time. Incredibly my type of movie.
positive · AI labelView post →So funny seeing this post a few minutes after my partner tells me about a trailer of Chronovisor she saw at a convention and she described it to me as “kinda like if Sam Barlow made a movie”! Can’t wait to see it, it looks so sick
neutral · AI labelView post →New on ye olde blog: "Ithaca Film Journal: 9/17/26." A truly excellent week for local movie lovers is highlighted by screenings of CHRONOVISOR, REMAKE, and a 35mm print of VAGABOND at Cornell Cinema + my latest "home video" recommendation = POWER BALLAD. prodigalcinephile.com/2026/09/17/i...
neutral · AI labelView post →Chronovisor (2026 movie) Anybody seen this yet? >>It’s also a celebration of the kind of ‘80s and ‘90s movie where an academic or a detective or a globe-trotting archaeologist spent lots of expensive film stock sifting through filing cabinets, dusty books, and microfiche in search of the truth.
neutral · AI labelView post →frustratingly little discussion of the best movie of 2026 on here - Chronovisor. Tiny release but still!

neutral · AI labelView post →Chronovisor: proof that 96% of movie critics are full of shit. I really wanted to love a movie about horror found in libraries and words, but I couldn't. The most interesting scene is a moment where a character's investigation is interrupted by a scream. We never learn what the scream was, and […]
