Time and Water (Knitflix Screening) (PG)
An Icelandic writer preserves vanishing glaciers, departed grandparents, family memories, and flowing time in his personal archives, transforming loss into a time capsule.
From the Oscar-nominated director of Fire of Love, Time and Water follows Icelandic poet Andri Snær Magnason, as – facing the death of Iceland’s glaciers and the loss of his beloved grandparents – he turns his archives into a time capsule to hold what is slipping away: family, memory, time, and water.
Everything is bigger in Iceland. The landscapes, the elements and the depth of time. But now, the ice is melting, the climate is shifting, and with it, everything will change forever.
With dazzling cinematography of the natural world, Time and Water is a thoughtful, existential film – an obituary for a glacier, an investigation into what it means to love a place, and a cinematic letter to the future.
