Time and Water

Facing the demise of Iceland’s glaciers and the loss of his beloved grandparents, writer Andri Snær Magnason transforms family archives into a time capsule — a record of an era when glaciers were still alive. Weaving his family’s history with the land around him, Magnason reflects that glaciers and memories both preserve what we stand to lose, but even geologic time can forget. Just as glaciers can hold memories of the past, this film records the universal power of home and what it means to be alive amid profound epochal change.
