Andy Goldsworthy’s Rivers & Tides
Documentarian Thomas Riedelsheimer shows us Andy Goldsworthy as he creates art in natural settings using natural materials such as driftwood, ice, mud, leaves, and stones. Goldsworthy comments on his “earthworks” and occasionally responds to off screen questions from Riedelsheimer while he painstakingly builds his outdoors sculptures. With some exceptions, such as a winding stone wall that he built in Mountainville, NY, Goldsworthy’s creations are intentionally mutable works.
We see how several of them fall apart, melt, or drift away due to exposure to the elements; we also see, for example, a complex structure of interconnected sticks collapse while Goldsworthy is still working on it.
Riedelsheimer takes us to Goldsworthy’s home in Penport, Scotland, and to a French museum, but the emphasis of the film is on observing Goldsworthy at work. (Barnes & Noble)

The sound is fantastic,seems interesting work but the image is to good.
Thanks Vlatko! This has proved a very useful resource for my Postmodernist paper. Keep up the good work :)
could you pease add special category in your documentary films called literature? it would be nice for literates to find farther information about the writers and literary writing systems, also the new activities in modern literature.
@tamar, good idea
go to ‘contacts’ at the top of the homepage and email Vlatko directly with your request. Also recommend some good literary docs to him if you know of any dood ones.
