International Trailer for Kristen Stewart’s ‘The Chronology of Water’

“Disappear into your imagination! Nobody’s in the room but you and that pen!” Les Films du Losange in France has revealed the first official trailer for Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut – a new film titled The Chronology of Water, based on the book of the same name. This initially premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, and will next stop by the Vienna & London Film Festivals. No US release date is set yet – it’s expected sometime in early 2026. An Olympic swimming hopeful flees her abusive home via a Texas scholarship. After losing her scholarship to addiction, she studies further under Ken Kesey in Oregon. Through writing, family, and self-discovery, she overcomes her troubled past. Stewart isn’t in the film – she co-wrote and produced and directed it. Imogen Poots stars as a young woman who finds her voice through the written word & her salvation as a swimmer – ultimately becoming a triumphant teacher, mother and a singular modern writer. The full cast includes Thora Birch, Earl Cave, Tom Sturridge, Kim Gordon, & Jim Belushi as iconic novelist Ken Kesey, who mentors Lidia. I did not care for this film – it’s a big mess. // Continue Reading ›
