Koyaanisqatsi was suggested by our member Graham Hood who writes: 'It is a soundscape (Philip Glass) and a visual cornucopia (Reggio and the rest) and a film that many stoners loved; and is rarely seen on the bigger screen. Truly extraordinary...'
Drawing its title from the Hopi word meaning 'life out of balance,' this renowned documentary reveals how humanity has grown apart from nature. Featuring extensive footage of natural landscapes and elemental forces, the film gives way to many scenes of modern civilization and technology. Given its lack of narration and dialogue, the production makes its points solely through imagery and music, with many scenes either slowed down or sped up for dramatic effect.
Please note, the screening on Wednesday 25 February is our free members' screening, while the one on Tuesday 3 March is a regular public screening, which is open to the general public.
