The Chronoscope is a film written and directed by Andrew Legge which was made as part of Wicklow County Council's Per Cent for Art commissioning programme.

Entitled The Chronoscope, the film script is a satire on the extreme politics of the time and tells the story of a fictionalised fascist group, who steal a device that can see the past in order to create propaganda films of their heroes from the past.
