Film Screening + Talk: Koyaanisqatsi

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.

A screening of Koyaanisqatsi, followed by a talk with director Godfrey Reggio, will take place this Monday, December 7th, at Pomona College. Come watch this seminal film and get to meet the mind behind it!
