In this video, we'll be taking a look at one of the most profound films of the last several decades: Godfrey Reggio's experimental documentary and visual tone-poem 'Koyaanisqatsi' (1982). In order to understand what Reggio is trying to say through the film, we'll be examining the technical as well as contextual elements behind the project, particularly focusing on the influence of the Native American Hopi people and their mythology. • FURTHER READING/VIEWING • 'Essence of Life' | Interviews with Godfrey Reggio and Composer Philip Glass (2003): • Godfrey Reggio Philip Glass on Koy... • Hopi Origin Story | Sacred Stories, PBS: • Hopi Origin Story | Native America | ... • A Hopi-Anglo Discourse | Essay on Hopi Mythology: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1465464?... • Koyaanisqatsi | A Film Without Dialogue: • Koyaanisqatsi | A Film Without Dialogue • • MUSIC • 'Koyaanisqatsi' by Philip Glass: • 'Koyaanisqatsi' • 'Organic' • 'Resource' • 'Pruitt Igoe' • 'The Grid Introduction' • 'The Grid' • 'Microchip' • 'Prophecies' • 'Translations and Credits' • - • - • - • I do not own any of the clips used. • This video is a review for critical and educational purposes and is protected under article 15 and 105 in the United States Fair Use code, as well as Fair Dealing in UK copyright law.
