Time and Water

“My grandparents thought glaciers would always be there. I thought this too,” says Andri. In this urgent film, Magnason reflects on three generations of family bound by a deep love of Iceland’s disappearing glaciers. Through stories of elf women and the loss of the Bird Cliffs, alongside traditional songs, intimate archival films and family photographs, a fragile past comes into focus. As Iceland’s glaciers melt due to climate change and the country’s puffin population declines dramatically, Dosa intertwines Andri’s moving personal story with folktales and myths to create a powerful meditation on loss – and how our actions today will shape the natural world future generations will inherit tomorrow.
