Koyaanisqatsi poster

Released in 1983, Koyaanisqatsi is a musik and dokumentarfilm film directed by Godfrey Reggio, running about 86 minutes. “Life out of balance” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Der Film beginnt mit Aufnahmen von Wandmalereien und einem brennenden Gegenstand, der aber nicht zu erkennen ist. Danach beginnt die Reise von der unberührten Natur in die Hektik der modernen Grossstadt. Durch New York, Los Angeles und San Francisco hasten die Menschen, strömen die Blechlawinen, und darüber türmen sich die Gebäude. Impressionen von zerfallenen Wohnsilos folgen, Gebäude stürzen ein, alles untermalt von der betörenden und minimalistischen Musik von Philip Glass.
