	Qatsi Trilogy (Reggio, 1983/1988/2002)
		Godfrey Reggio's ballet of images and the masterpiece of his "Qatsi" trilogy was released in 1983 after over 5 years of on-location shooting.
		The second leg of Godfrey Reggio's "Qatsi" trilogy focuses on the Southern Hemisphere and is a stark contrast to the images of Koyaanisqatsi, which focused on the effects of technology and modernization on the Northern Hemisphere.
		In essence, Naqoyqatsi shows how Reggio is influenced by the very technology he claims to despise and rather than engaging the viewer on an intellectual level, it steps down to the level of the music video working almost completely on a visceral level.

	INTERVIEW: Lone Giant: Godfrey Reggio's "Naqoyqatsi""
		Reggio's "Naqoyqatsi" completes a trilogy that includes the previous films "Powaaqatsi" and "Koyaanisqatsi." Like its predecessors, "Naqoyqatsi" is a visual symphony teeming with beauty and assault to Glass' transcendent score, featuring cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
		Reggio: We went on location to shoot "Koyannisqatsi" and "Powaqqatsi." "Naqoyqatsi" is 100 percent original photography, but it's a little bit tricky: Because of the subject matter -- "Naqoyqatsi" has to do with globalization, technology, the world of virtuality -- I felt it was very important that the location be commensurate with the subject matter.
		Reggio: These films however, have ambiguity built into them, because it's too easy in film to make a strident work of propaganda or advertising, which are really the same thing anyway, meaning the message is unmistakable.

		First time director Godfrey Reggio pulled dozens of rabbits out of the same old hat as he combined breathtaking images of the planet earth with the mantra-like music of Philip Glass.
		Reggio finds elegance in the mundane and passion in the primitive; he redefines the form with a burning spiritual heart, giving new clarity and ardor to the art of filmmaking.

	The Creators
		In 1972, Reggio co-founded the Institute for Regional Education in Santa Fe, a non-profit foundation focused on media development, the arts, community organization and research - which was the progenitor for The Qatsi Trilogy.
		Reggio followed the second "Qatsi" film with the short film "Anima Mundi," which was commissioned by Bulgari, the Italian jewelry company, for the World Wide Fund for Nature which used the film for its Biological Diversity Program.
		Glass's very first film score was for Godfrey Reggio's "Koyaanisqatsi," which went on to garner extensive praise, receive live orchestral performances at special screenings and become one of his most popular recordings.

	Locus Online: Claude Lalumière reviews the Qatsi films
		For Reggio it is sufficient to simply show cities — because for him the cities themselves are exemplars of the "out of balance" lifestyle — to make his point.
		Reggio's deep hatred of cities blinds him to the fact that there may be deeper and more complex reasons than the existence of cities for the unforgivable enslavement of most of the world's population to satisfy the greed of the powerful.
		Finally, Reggio is himself trapped within the humanist worldview that forever alienates humanity from the web of Terran life: for example, nonhuman animals are few and far between in the anthropocentric Qatsi trilogy.

	Welcome to the Best of New Orleans! Cover Story 10 08 02
		Reggio breaks the film down into three "movements": "Numerica.com," a series of metamorphoses including the natural to the supernatural; "Circus Maximus," in which life becomes one big game; and "Rocketship 20th Century," where the film's theme of civilized violence suggests a world so advanced that language can no longer explain it.
		Reggio convinced The New York Times to feature his struggle to finance as a way to advance the show; Ty Burr, the editor of Entertainment Weekly and a Reggio fan, took the assignment and wrote a glowing portrait of Reggio's efforts.
		Reggio's wife, Marti Lovell, and stepdaughter Vella are doing their own thing while he attends a party being held by John Allen, a renaissance man whose work includes the Biosphere 2 project in Arizona.

	Naqoyqatsi - A Film by Godfrey Reggio
		Or as Reggio has remarked --" image has become pure illusion" -- and his film, which like the first two is pictures only with original music by Philip Glass, is a perfectly logical extension of POWAQQATSI's view of the first world preying on the third.
		Reggio visualizes this brave new world by having his principal cameramen Russell Lee Fine, Timothy Housel, John Bailey (he shot Mishima, which Glass also scored), and a large tech team make much of what we see look fake.
		Reggio's use of the Tower of Babel is hardly accidental, and the images in this prologue are the germs or seeds from which the whole film grows.

	DVD Verdict Review - Powaqqatsi
		In Koyaanisqatsi, Reggio kept his attention on the familiar (at least to film audiences): the urban spaces of America and Europe.
		Reggio is a bit more defensive in this interview than in the one for Koyaanisqatsi, perhaps because he came under more fire from critics on this film.
		Reggio is fascinated by diversity and complexity, but clearly sees the inherent conflict produced by these forces.

	Powaqqatsi
		I can talk about WHY this is an even better experience than Koyaanisqatsi, and why Godfrey Reggio might be the most effective visual communicator of our era, but you need to see Powaqqatsi as soon as you can.
		Reggio feels that people living in non-industrialized worlds are more interesting to portray because they express interest in the camera; they see something new and want to explore, like a cat put in front of a mirror who is shocked by the sight of this alien object.
		Reggio has been accused of being an activist filmmaker, of trying to cash in on the "new age" preservation craze.

	Film Review: Koyaanisqatsi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Koyaanisqatsi was filmed by Godfrey Reggio in 1983 (or, rather, released in 1983 the filming itself took years) and given a magnificent score by one of the leading modern composers, minimalist Philip Glass.
		Reggio proceeds from languorously beautiful nature shots to the frantically paced, edited at the speed of light, footage of human life.
		Reggio edits his film almost at the threshold of incomprehension but doesn't quite cross it, with his images as lucid even at the high speed.

		Reggio chooses numerous powerful and realistic everyday images and puts them together with state of the art digital effects.
		Powaqqatsi, or "life in transformation," is the second part of a projected trilogy of experimental documentaries whose titles derive from Hopi compound nouns.
		Powaqqatsi finds director Godfrey Reggio somewhat more directly polemical than before, and his major collaborator, the composer Philip Glass, stretching to embrace world music.

	Philip Glass (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		By contrasting images of natural beauty with those of urban decay, Reggio sought to show how modern society had become distanced from the former and overwhelmed by the spectacle of the latter.
		Reggio's time-lapse stream of images pulses, billows, and glides across the American landscape, from the breathtaking scenery of Monument Valley to abandoned tenements in the South Bronx.
		We began with an assemblage of images, then I would write a part that was approximately in the time frame Godfrey was working with, and he would begin cutting the film to the music.
