DESCRIPTION:McEvoy Foundation for the Arts presents Koyaanisqatsi, directed by Godfrey 
 Reggio.\n\nDrawing its title from the Hopi word meaning "life out of 
 balance," Koyaanisqatsi (1982) is a renowned documentary that reveals how 
 humanity has grown apart from nature. Directed by Godfrey Reggio and 
 featuring extensive footage of natural landscapes and elemental forces set 
 to a score by Philip Glass, the film ultimately 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. Reggio 
 explained the lack of dialogue by stating: "it's not for lack of love of 
 the language that these films have no words. It's because, from my point of 
 view, our language is in a state of vast humiliation. It no longer 
 describes the world in which we live." Koyaanisqatsi is the first in the 
 Qatsi trilogy. \n\nRun time: 85 minutes\n\nGodfrey Reggio (b. 1940) is an 
 American director of experimental documentary films. Most well-known for 
 his Qatsi trilogy, Reggio's films explore the negative impacts of 
 consumerism and fundamentalism on the world. Prior to becoming a filmmaker, 
 Reggio spent fourteen years in fasting, silence, and prayer, training to be 
 a Roman Catholic monk. Reggio has been involved in many progressive 
 political causes in the United States, including work for the American 
 Civil Liberties Union, co-organizing a multimedia public interest campaign 
 on the invasion of privacy and the use of technology to control behavior. 
 He resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico.\n\nKoyaanisqatsi is presented in 
 conjunction with MFA's fall exhibition "No Time," which explores human 
 relationships to the natural world in the past, present, and 
 future.\n\nGeneral Admission: $7.00. Seniors and children: free. Advance 
 reservations through Eventbrite.\n
