Time Like Water

About This Movie

Time Like Water is this really contemplative documentary that pulls you into the quiet beauty of Iceland's highlands. Shot on 16mm, which gives it that tactile feel, you can almost sense the texture of the land. It's not your conventional narrative – it’s more of a personal journey, with the filmmaker hiking alone, letting the landscapes speak. The pacing is slow, almost meditative, which perfectly mirrors the themes of solitude and the vastness of nature. The way it captures light and shadow is striking, almost like the film is a character of its own. You get this sense of the individual versus the infinite, which is pretty profound. It’s an exploration of space, both personal and existential, that sticks with you.
