Wednesday, October 22, 2008, 7 p.m.

The Cape Girardeau Unitarian Universalist Fellowship movie group will watch:

KOYAANISQATSI

 

KOYAANISQATSI, Godfrey Reggio's debut as a film director and producer, is the first film of the QATSI trilogy. The title is a Hopi Indian word meaning "life out of balance." The film is an apocalyptic vision of the collision of two different worlds -- urban life and technology versus the environment. This film does not have a plot in the traditional sense.  Rather, it is a collection of images and impressions of a way of life, all set to a continuous minimalist score.  The musical score was composed by Philip Glass.  Congress deemed Koyaanisqatsi "culturally significant" and preserved it in the National Film Registry.

 

Please join us to watch the movie and discuss it afterwartds.
