Time and Water
Time and Water
As Icelandic glaciers melt and cherished grandparents pass away, Andri Snær Magnason transforms his rich archive – family photos, recordings, myths, and songs – into a kind of time capsule meant to preserve what slips away: memories, family, time, and water. Against the backdrop of inevitable climate change, the film connects personal loss with the universal question of impermanence and ways of preserving memory. It is a poetic reflection on the relationship between intergenerational memory and the history embedded in ice.
