Time and Water
Sara Dosa / United States & Iceland / 2026 / 90 min
Iceland's ancient landscapes are changing, and for author Andri Snær Magnason, the deep changes are about more than ice. A thoughtful and existential film from the director of ‘Fire of Love’.
Everything is bigger in Iceland. The landscapes, the elements, the depth of time. This is where author Andri Snær Magnason grew up, and where he has lived and worked his entire life. Now he is experiencing something that no one in his family ever dreamed could happen: a dying glacier. The ice is melting, the climate is changing – and with it, everything has changed forever.
Sara Dosa (‘Fire of Love’, CPH:DOX 2022), joins forces with Andri to create a beautiful, painful and existential film about profound changes in both life and the world. When he loses his beloved grandparents, it is both the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one for the Icelandic author with the rich inner life. His creative imagination and deep love for his family and country seep into every part of ‘Time and Water’, which is named after one of his books that unites science and art in an attempt to comprehend the future that awaits us.
