When the Water Stops Flowing
When the Water Stops Flowing is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 2026, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
Jonathan Stavleu explores, in a stream-of-consciousness video essay, the relationship people have with water and what happens when access to it is taken away. For this work, he examines anecdotal histories he has heard from Estonians, as well as stories from his own family history in the Netherlands, weaving them together into a journal-like narrative.
