Time And WaterPG
Iceland’s glaciers are melting and celebrated poet and author Andri Snær Magnason is determined to capture what’s being lost before it’s gone. Drawing on personal archives, his grandparents’ photographs and home films, and the traditional songs and folktales of his homeland, he weaves together his family’s history and the story of the land itself. From Sara Dosa, the Academy Award-nominated director of Fire of Love, this urgent documentary is both a love letter to a place and a profound meditation on what it means to be alive in an age of irreversible change.
Reviews
‘A poetic musing on intergenerational memory, a whimsical, yet staunchly political elegy for the glaciers, and a mournful look at the Earth in all her majesty and mystery…and how craven capitalism over the last several hundred years has destroyed her.’
★★★★★
Marya E. Gates, IndieWire
‘It’s a pensive, reflective film which combines striking Super 16 archive material with a deft exploration of the way the narratives of our lives are intertwined with the lands we inhabit.’ Wendy Ide, Screen International

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
