A new trailer has been released for The Chronology of Water, directed by Kristen Stewart and featuring Imogen Poots.

      A new trailer has been released for The Chronology of Water, the upcoming film adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir, marking Kristen Stewart's debut as a director.

      This biographical drama portrays Yuknavitch (Imogen Poots), detailing her journey from a gifted swimmer in her youth through her challenging upbringing, struggles with addiction, and her refuge in literature.

      The cast includes Thora Birch, Jim Belushi, Charles Carrick, Tom Sturridge, Susanna Flood, Esme Creed Miles, Kim Gordon, and Michael Epp alongside Poots.

      THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER offers a candid and unflinching depiction of survival, sexuality, and self-creation. The film follows Lidia’s life journey from her early memories in the Pacific Northwest as a talented swimmer, spanning tumultuous relationships, near-motherhood, addiction, and interactions with artistic icons. Presented as a flowing recollection, the narrative converts trauma into art, capturing Yuknavitch’s bold voice that has made her work a contemporary cult favorite. It chronicles not just a woman's evolution into a writer, but also a visceral exploration of the destruction and resilience of a life lived authentically.

      The Chronology of Water is set to premiere on December 5th.
