Accompanied by Philip Glass’s sweeping and haunting orchestral score, the cinematic meditation known as “Koyaanisqatsi” celebrates its 25th anniversary screening. Taken from the Hopi word meaning “life out of balance,” “Koyaanisqatsi” is a wordless gaze at the discord between technology and the environment. Unfortunately director Godfrey Reggio’s message that “we don’t live with nature any longer, we live off of it” is still quite timely. 1982, MGM, 86 min.
Following “Koyaanisqatsi,” director Godfrey Reggio’s “Evidence” (1995, 8 min) and “Anima Mundi” (1992, 28 min) will be screened. There will be a discussion between the films with Reggio.
