Time and Water: A documentary on Iceland's disappearing glaciers

irishtimes.com

Iceland's glaciers are disappearing, as depicted in Sara Dosa's new documentary "Time and Water." The film uses personal stories and archival footage to illustrate this environmental crisis. The documentary focuses on the family history of Andri Snær Magnason, whose grandparents explored Iceland's glaciers in the 1950s. Their experiences, captured in home movies and photos, highlight the glaciers' former permanence and the profound environmental changes they have undergone. "Time and Water" avoids typical environmental film tropes, opting for a reflective meditation on memory and inheritance. It presents glaciers as archives of geological memory now threatened by climate change.
