Once Within a Time

(2023) The movie is co-directed by Jon Kane, with original music is composed by Philip Glass with additional music and vocals by Sussan Deyhim. Glass, a legendary experimental composer, first worked with Reggio on “Koyaanisqatsi,” which was “presented” by Francis Ford Coppola in 1982. Reggio and Glass have collaborated on seven films over the last four decades, including “Visitors,” “Evidence,” and “Anima Mundi.”

Visitors

Visitors

(2013) Director Godfrey Reggio reveals humanity's trance-like relationship with technology, which, when commandeered by extreme emotional states, produces massive effects far beyond the human species.

Naqoyqatsi

Naqoyqatsi

(2002) In this cinematic concert, mesmerizing images are plucked from everyday reality, then visually altered with state-of-the-art digital techniques. The result is a chronicle of the shift from a world organized by the principles of nature to one dominated by technology, the synthetic and the virtual. Extremes of intimacy and spectacle, tragedy and hope fuse in a tidal wave of visuals and music, giving rise to a unique, artistic experience that reflects the vision of a brave new globalized world.

Evidence

Evidence

(1995) The film consists of extreme close-ups of children's faces in various states of intense emotion, accompanied by the dramatic music of Philip Glass. Only in the final seconds of the film do we see what the children have been looking at all this time..Television.

Anima Mundi

Anima Mundi

(1991) Image and music are intertwined in this third collaboration between director Godfrey Reggio and composer Philip Glass. The film was produced to celebrate the World Wildlife Fund's Biological Diversity Campaign. The film combines images of nature with pulsing rhythms in a Microcosmos (1997) meets Koyaanisqatsi (1983) spectacle.

Alphaville: Patricia's Park

Alphaville: Patricia's Park

(1990) A short color film with musical accompaniment, utilizing some of the footage from Reggio's full length feature 'Koyaanisqatsi' but instead of the wonderful and hypnotic musical score by genius Philip Glass, we have instead the pop group Alphaville playing a sort of oriental theme that doesn't bring any effect with the countless images by Ron Fricke, mostly shot in the time-lapse techinque. For quieter and still images, the music brings some sadness, some introspection that makes you to pause and reflect about what you're seeing.

Songlines

Songlines

(1989) Collection of short films each based on a track from the album "The Breathtaking Blue" by the German band "Alphaville". With the Songlines project, top German group Alphaville handed over tracks from their third album The Breathtaking Blue to a number of highly-acclaimed independent movie directors, and basically said "Make whatever movie this song inspires in you." Godfrey directed “Patricia’s Park” as one of many directors.

Powaqqatsi

Powaqqatsi

(1988) Godfrey Reggio’s follow up to Koyanisqaatsi is Powaqqatsi, an exploration of technologically developing nations and the effect the transition to Western-style modernization has had on them.

Koyanisqaatsi

Koyanisqaatsi

(1982) Koyanisqaatsi is a collection of expertly photographed phenomena with no conventional plot. The footage focuses on nature, humanity, and the relationship between them. Roger Ebert’s review of the film “…"Koyaanisqatsi" is an impressive visual and listening experience, that Reggio and Glass have made wonderful pictures and sounds, and that this film is a curious throwback to the 1960s, when it would have been a short subject to be viewed through a marijuana haze. Far out.”
