Koyaanisqatsi
Life out of balance
Directed by Godfrey Reggio
Produced by IRE Productions, Santa Fe Institute for Regional Education
A wordless visual and musical meditation on humanity's destructive relationship with nature and technology, structured as a poetic lament for a civilization out of balance.
Takes us to locations all around the US and shows us the heavy toll that modern technology is having on humans and the earth. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and the exceptional music by Philip Glass.
