Facing the death of his country’s glaciers and the loss of his beloved grandparents, Icelandic writer Andri Snær Magnason turns his archives into a time capsule to hold what is slipping away — family, memory, time and water. Using his own collected archives, his grandparents’ photographs, and films, as well as traditional songs and folktales, Andri interlaces his family’s story with that of the land around him. From Academy Award®-nominated director Sara Dosa.
Amid the dying ice and finite human life, Dosa and Magnason gracefully introduce other themes — about the nature of recording technology, and an Iceland steeped in storytelling. -Financial Times
Time and Water is an arresting documentary about Iceland’s disappearing glaciers that avoids the doomy and familiar traps of environmental film-making. -Irish Times
Yes, it’s easy to mourn what we’re losing, but what she captures should inspire us to realize that the Earth is still worth fighting for. It’s not too late to save it. -Rogerebert.com/
A shot of ice drifting into the sea and melting into the waves arrives, like so many beautifully chosen images in this film, as a disquieting metaphor. -Sight and Sound
