po.waq.qatsi (from the Hopi language), n. 1. sorcerer life, an entity, a way of life that consumes the life forces of other beings in order to further its own life.
Hailed by audiences and critics around the world as “mesmerizing,” this second installment of writer/director Godfrey Reggio’s apocalyptic “qatsi” trilogy is “quite simply one of the most magnificent visual and aural spectacles ever made.” (LA Daily News). Reggio’s sumptuous images are made the more powerful by the music of world renowned composer Philip Glass’ landmark score.
Bold, haunting and epic in scale, this extraordinary film calls into question everything we think we know about contemporary society. By juxtaposing images of ancient cultures with those of modern life, Powaqqatsi masterfully portrays the human cost of progress. It is a film that engages the soul as well as the mind.
Join us for this Special Presentation of a film that brings the cultures and pressures of the modern and ancient world together.
