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.
"Most of Goldsworthy´s work involves ice, water, leaves, grass, mud, and stones and is not built to last: Its evanescence is an essential aspect of its beauty. But thanks to photography and to movies like this, it can live on." —New York Times
