The Dust of Time (Greek: Η Σκόνη του Χρόνου) is a film by Theodoros Angelopoulos shown on 12 February 2009 at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival and well received by critics.
This film is the second of an unfinished trilogy started with The Weeping Meadow in 2004. The last part of the trilogy had the working title "Tomorrow". The trilogy was left uncompleted by Angelopoulos’s unexpected death in January 2012.
In a press conference for the Greek media, the director was asked about the critics for his film and replied that "the directors are not chosen by the critics or by the audience but by the time" and that for him all of his films are chapters of the same films, "Chapters, as he said, of a big book, about human destiny, about the times passed and about the times coming"

Famous quotes containing the words dust and/or time:
“Beauty is everlasting
and dust is for a time.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
