FILM STUDIES
Lévana Schütz – Verseau Révolution – 2026 #2
by Lévana Schütz
Aquarius Revolution is a hybrid documentary that weaves together family history, investigation, and autofiction. Faced with the gradual loss of memory experienced by their grandmother — who was an astrologer — the director sets out to reconstruct the media landscape surrounding Élisabeth Teissier, a prominent astrologer of the same generation, in the hope of rekindling memories and reopening a family dialogue. Combining interviews with archival reenactments, the film deliberately blurs the line between documentary and fiction. In doing so, it reflects on memory, inheritance, and the stories we tell ourselves to give meaning to our lives. This project was developed in collaboration with the Image and Set Design departments at ZHdK.
