When the Water Stops Flowing

When the Water Stops Flowing (2026) is a documentary film directed by Jonathan Stavleu.

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.
