Synopsis

Rupert Spira is one of Britain's finest studio potters. The film takes its title from one of his tall bowls inscribed with a long, fragmented, meditative poem. Commissioned by the Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Charitable Trust, RIVER OF WORDS is a contemplative film, giving a glimpse into Rupert's daily working practice. It accompanies his 2003 exhibitions in Japan, his 2004 exhibition at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and his April 2005 exhibition at Contemporary Applied Arts in London.

Award

RIVER OF WORDS was awarded the UNESCO PRIX ARGILE at the Montpelier International Film Festival of Clay and Glass 2006.
