Time and Water

Rataed: PG; 93 minutes; in Icelandic with subtitles, English; Directed by: Sara Dosa
From the Academy Award nominated director of Fire of Love, Time and Water follows Icelandic writer Andri Magnason who turns his archives into a time capsule to hold what is slipping away from him. Tasked to write the eulogy for Okjökull, the first glacier to be declared dead due to climate change, Magnason reflects on how glaciers create an archive of deep time within their ice over millions of years. Drawing from a mix of photographs, home movies, myths, songs, and folk tales, Time and Water is at once an elegy for what we've lost and an attempt at cinematic time travel to retain it.
