 RIVERS
AND TIDES, Thomas Riedelsheimer's mind-blowing new film which won
the Golden Gate Award Grand Prize for Best Documentary at this year's
San Francisco Int Film Fest follows renowned sculptor Andy Goldsworthy
as he creates with ice, driftwood, bracken, leaves, stone, dirt, and
snow in open fields, beaches, rivers, creeks and forests.
Andy Goldsworthy knows that most of his pieces will not last long
because of where he makes them. Some of his works stand and remain
in the landscape; others decay, melt or are blown away. His work's
transitory nature, in fact, is a central part of the sculptor's creative
efforts to understand the energy that flows through him and through
the natural landscape that nourishes his vision. In this contemplative
and beautifully insightful film, we see Goldsworthy as he works to
understand that energetic flow, represented often by water, by wind
or simply the passage of seasons. Both carefully composed and fluid,
RIVERS AND TIDES keeps its focus on the artist's vision and work,
giving us room to ponder our own relationship to the energy coursing
through the natural world.
The director worked with Andy Goldsworthy for over a year to shoot
this remarkable film. What he found was a profound sense of breathless
discovery and uncertainty in Goldsworthy's work, in contrast to the
stability of conventional sculpture. There is risk in everything Goldsworthy
does. He takes his fragile work right to the edge of its collapse,
a very beautiful balance and a very dramatic edge within the film.
RIVERS AND TIDES captures the essential unpredictability of working
with nature and, like Goldsworthy's suclpture, grows into something
beyond the simple making of an object. It touches the heart of what
Goldsworthy does and who he is. It is a film that allows "you to see
something you never saw before, that was always there but you were
blind to." |
