Screening of the documentary 'Time and Water' by Andri Snær Magnason, exploring the melting of glaciers and family memory.
Andri Snær Magnason brings Time and Water to Harbour Lights Picturehouse on Tuesday 30 June. It's a film by the Icelandic writer, and it runs on two parallel losses: the melting of the glaciers in her home country and the death of her grandparents.
Magnason works from her own archives, turning them into a sort of time capsule for the things that slip away. The film holds them together — family, memory, time and water — and lets them sit side by side. It's a personal piece of filmmaking that looks at the scale of the climate crisis through the lens of a family history, and it does so by drawing a line between the ice disappearing from the landscape and the people disappearing from a home.
It's a screening for an adult, cinephile crowd, the kind of thing that suits a quiet Tuesday night in the cinema. If you're into author-led documentaries and work that lets its themes breathe, this is right up that alley.
