Rivers and Tides

Synopsis: A portrait of the artist Andy Goldsworthy, who uses the materials of the natural world to create sculptures that are sometimes extremely fragile - ice-sculptures made before dawn that melt as the sun rises, leaves pinned with thorns that unfold as they glide downriver like a snake. The documentary shows the sheer amount of hard work, cold-numbed and cut fingers, and dedication it takes to bring these sculptures to fruition. It also includes the sculptures that don’t make it, which is just as fascinating.

DVD extras include: short films: "Storm King Wall", "Autumn Works", "Garlic Leaves", "Ice Arch", "Black Stone", "The Old Studio" and "Leaf Works"; Andy Goldsworthy biography; Thomas Reidelsheimer biography.
