RIVERS AND TIDES:
ANDY GOLDSWORTHY WORKING WITH TIME

Germany 2004 / Color / in English / 90 minutes
Director: Thomas Riedelsheimer
Music: Fred Firth
Principal Cast: Andy Goldsworthy

In the timeless tradition of “Winged Migration” and “Koyaanisqatsi,” the theatrical phenomenon RIVERS AND TIDES depicts the magical relationship between art and nature while painting a visually intoxicating portrait of famed artist Andy Goldsworthy. Gorgeously shot and masterfully edited, the film follows the bohemian free spirit Goldsworthy all over the world as he demonstrates and opens up about his unique creative process. From his long-winding rock walls and icicle sculptures to his interlocking leaf chains and multicolored pools of flowers, Goldsworthy’s painstakingly intricate masterpieces are made entirely of materials found in Mother Nature-- who threatens and often succeeds in destroying his art, sometimes before it is even finished.
With over ten four-star reviews from the nation’s top critic, RIVERS AND TIDES serenely captures Goldsworthy in the midst of constructing his trademark ephemera on-camera creating a mesmerizing cinematic experience that helps us appreciate nature in new and enchanting ways.
