Time and Water

Time and water

In UK cinemas from 12 June

As Iceland’s glaciers melt, one man creates a time capsule to hold onto this moment and send it into the future. In Academy Award®-nominated director Sara Dosa’s #TimeandWater, poet Andri Snær Magnason interlaces his family’s story with the land around him, reflecting on the power of home and what it means to be alive amid profound epochal change.

In theaters starting May 29

Facing the death of his country’s glaciers and the loss of his beloved grandparents, Icelandic writer Andri Snær Magnason (@andrimagnason) turns his and his family’s archives into a time capsule to hold what is slipping away — family, memory, time, and water. From Oscar®-nominated director Sara Dosa (@unadosa) and National Geographic Documentary Films. #TimeAndWater is a universal reflection on the power of home and waht it means to be alive amid profound epochal change. Time and Water will world premiere at #SundanceFilmFestival in January 2026.

Official Selection at Sundance Film Festival 2026.
