La Pietà

The documentary La Pietà presents a unique perspective on the environment through the experiences of its subjects. It features the Icelandic siblings who lived at the foot of a glacier, long before the term climate change was coined. Their abandoned farmhouse serves as a living archive, with photographs and objects that bring their story to life.

Directed by Ingvar E. Sigurðsson, the film uses a combination of visual elements, including a 16mm film, to restore the gestures and spaces of a vanished way of life. The documentary not only highlights the siblings' connection to nature but also reflects on the broader implications of climate change. Collectors can find this documentary available on DVD, offering a tangible format for preserving its important message about the environment.
