Renowned Icelandic poet and author Andri Snær Magnason is chasing something elusive. 

As the glacial ice of his homeland melts, he constructs a cinematic time capsule to hold onto this moment and send it to the future, before everything he loves slips away. Using his own collected archives, his grandparents’ photographs, and films, as well as traditional songs and folktales, Andri interlaces his family’s story with that of the land around him. 

From Academy Award®-nominated director Sara Dosa, Time and Water is a universal reflection on the power of home and what it means to be alive amid profound epochal change.

Sara Dosa is an Oscar®-nominated nonfiction filmmaker whose work centers on the human relationship with more-than-human nature. The films she has directed, Fire of Love (2022), The Seer & The Unseen (2019) and The Last Season (2015), have won numerous awards, including a Peabody and the Directors’ Guild of America Award, and were nominated for over 40 awards, including an Academy Award, BAFTA, Emmy and an Independent Spirit Award.
