In 2016, Kosakovsky became a member of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts. In Russian non-fiction films Kossakovsky is perhaps the most prominent director and chief visionary. The themes of his films are nature and God, the human soul and, as the latest film "Gunda" (2020) showed, not only the soul of the human. Kossakovsky is a humanist and philosopher, a fearless man and a great artist. His contribution to documentary films cannot be overstated.

Water is the main protagonist, seen in all its great and terrible beauty. Mountains of ice move and break apart as if they had a life of their own. Kossakovsky's film travels the world, from the precarious frozen waters of Russia's Lake Baikal and Miami in the throes of Hurricane Irma, to Venezuela's mighty Angel Falls in order to paint a portrait of this fluid life force in all its glorious forms. Fragile humans experience life and death, joy and despair in the face of its power.
