A hypnotic visual symphony contrasting modern life’s relentless pace with the natural world.Enjoy a special pre-screening piano recital celebrating the music of Philip Glass, one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century.
Taking its title from the Hopi people of northeastern Arizona, United States, Koyaanisqatsi means “life out of balance.” This film juxtaposes breathtaking natural environments with the speed and scale of modern industry, infrastructure and urban existence. Time-lapse photography, slow motion and a mesmerising musical score combine to deliver a cinematic experience unlike any other.
Directed by Godfrey Reggio and scored by Philip Glass, Koyaanisqatsi combines groundbreaking cinematography with a powerful musical soundtrack to present a striking portrait of the tensions between the natural world and modern industrial society. Without dialogue, narration or conventional characters, the film assembles a remarkable montage of landscapes, cities, machines and people, inviting audiences to reflect on the rhythms and contradictions of contemporary life.
