"Ravishing from start to finish... a work of art in its own right."
-- Christian Science Monitor
Rivers and Tides
Directed by
Thomas Riedelsheimer
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 critics, RIVERS AND TIDES serenely captures Goldsworthy in the midst of constructing his trademark ephemera on-camera creating a mesmerizing cinematic experience that helps us to appreciate nature in new and enchanting ways.

Watching this film with the artist narrating his creative process was like a form of meditation. It left me inspired to look around me and notice more 'art' in nature. Well done.

Viewing Andy Goldsworth's photos completely misses the impact of seeing and hearing the process of creation in the environment selected by the artist. The works are strong and beautiful, the artist insightful making powerful visual sense of our ties to the natural world around us.

My school just got the "River & Tides" DVD in and I was able to watch it a couple of times. It was really incredible. Having never seen any of Andy's earth works, it was very inspirational to watch him do his thing.

Saw it in the theater -- what a trip! I had only seen Goldsworthy's work in coffee table books, but this movie is like being there as he does his thing. Highly reccomended!
