Vatn

VATN [Icelandic] = water
In this film, water, or vatn, contemplates its nature within the ecosystem of Iceland. Water is the protagonist, a powerful voice to be reckoned with, while also aware of its role in the environment. Today, a few powerful corporations have created industry which, for the first time, significantly threaten the manner in which water has always spoken, and flowed through Iceland. If this continues, the earth will lose the pure sound of wisdom from this ancient source. Will we preserve this environment?
Vatn won the main prize at the Cinextur Film Festival. Read more about it in this blog post.

I a quite pessimistic about humanity being so sensitive as to preserve anything natural. Rather than that, I suspect that we will change our currently destructive dynamics only when we face disaster. I liked the video; good work. Thanks for sharing it.
