Film Chronovisor at OKCMOA
Inspired by the true story of a mythical time-travel invention, Kevin Walker and Jack Auen's striking experimental mystery follows a respected New York professor into a labyrinth of textual clues and secret libraries in search of an occult device said to reproduce visuals from any point in history.
In French, English, German, and Italian with English subtitles. (100 minutes)
“Benedictine monk Father Pellegrino Ernetti claimed to have invented, alongside Enrico Fermi and Wernher von Braun, a device called the Chronovisor, capable of transmitting events of the past as if live on TV. Digging deeper, an elaborate web of conjecture and conspiracy emerges, reaching all the way up to the highest echelons of the Vatican. Chronovisor is a witty literary mystery about one of the many secrets that still hide out in libraries, waiting for someone with time, curiosity, and a JSTOR login to come along and disturb the dusty stacks.” —New Directors/New Films 2026
