Logline Leaning into the Wind follows artist Andy Goldsworthy on his exploration of the world and himself through ephemeral and permanent workings on the landscape, cities and with his own body. (30 words)

Synopsis Sixteen years after the release of the ground-breaking film Rivers and Tides – Andy Goldsworthy Working with Time director Thomas Riedelsheimer has returned to work with the artist. Leaning into the Wind – Andy Goldsworthy follows Andy on his exploration of the layers of his world and the impact of the years on himself and his art. As Goldsworthy introduces his own body into the work it becomes at the same time even more fragile and personal and also sterner and tougher, incorporating massive machinery and crews on his bigger projects. Riedelsheimer’s exquisite film illuminates Goldsworthy’s mind as it reveals his art. (100 words)

Andy Goldsworthy Biography Andy Goldsworthy (b. 1956, Cheshire, England) lives in Scotland. He makes works of art using the materials and conditions that he encounters wherever he is. Using earth, rocks, leaves, ice, snow, rain, or sunlight, the resulting artworks exist briefly before they are altered and erased by natural processes. He also uses his own body as a medium, as with his Rain Shadows, or through actions such as spitting, throwing, climbing and walking. He has undertaken commissions in the Queensland rainforest, Australia and the New Zealand coast; in Rio de Janeiro, New York City, St Louis, Montreal and San Francisco; in the New Mexico desert, the mountains of central Spain and Haute-Provence, France, and the fells of Cumbria and Dumfriesshire. He has exhibited in the British Museum (1994); the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2004); Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield (2007); and the Palacio di Cristal, Madrid (2007). He contributes widely to group exhibitions and his most recent solo gallery shows have been in New York (2015) and Madrid (2016). Goldsworthy has published many books throughout his career, beginning with Rain, sun, snow, mist, calm: Photoworks (1985).

Director’s Statement In 2011, during a shoot in Scotland I met Andy Goldsworthy again. It had been ten years since we released Rivers and Tides and we had not seen each other in the interim. From the very first moment I felt like no time has passed at all – it felt as though we had just waved farewell a few days before. It felt intimate immediately and I became aware of my never-ending interest in this man and his work. We talked a lot and a few weeks later we admitted that both of us were thinking about the option of doing another film together. But "Rivers and Tides" felt like a huge burden, a big heritage, and we hesitated to go for it. Although a film is just a moment in time it kind of stays forever. People who know "Rivers and Tides" think they know Andy Goldsworthy. And so we both felt that adding a new perspective to him and his work would be fascinating. I started seeing him in Scotland occasionally, we talked and I filmed a little bit. When my producers came on board it finally turned into a real project that kept me busy for four years. It has been a great time, an unforgettable experience. Again I learned so much from this man, and I hope I succeeded in showing that in the film - lessons about life and death about struggle, about what it means to be an artist. A lot had changed in Andy´s life which found its way into his art. It was fascinating on

4 many levels, one of which struck me personally: Both of us were working with our children as assistants. I hadn´t seen his daughter Holly for twelve years. She had become a lovely young woman, a professional artist in her own right, now working with her sometimes-quite-grumpy father. Our children are the next generation, an incarnation of time passing - and we the older generation have to come to terms with that. Leaning into the WInd offers a different angle, a different perspective, another perception on many levels. It is not only an expansion of the former film but stands by itself. Another moment in time, of Andy´s life - and of my life. (374 words) Thomas Riedelsheimer
