FM4 - Spectatorship - 'Koyaanisqatsi': Experimental and Expanded Film/Video

KOYAANISQATSI, Reggio's debut as a film director and producer, is the first film of the QATSI trilogy. The title is a Hopi Indian word meaning "life out of balance." Created between 1975 and 1982, the film is an apocalyptic vision of the collision of two different worlds -- urban life and technology versus the environment. The musical score was composed by Philip Glass. Visit the official site here for more information on this unique piece of cinema.
