Waiting for Water
Waiting for Water
1981, English. Directed by Solrun Hoaas.
A documentary on daily life on a small depopulated island using a combination of diary narration and English subtitles. The film uses an ebb-and-flow structure to capture the recurring events and images of life on an island that once had over 600 people, but now only little over 40 due to the move to the cities 'for the sake of the children's education.' -Ronin Films
