Cinema is starting to become more of a featured item in the nighttime program of events at the Forum. On August 10, 11 and 12, visitors to the site will have the chance to watch The Qatsi Trilogy, a set of three documentaries that represent the dawn of a new cinematic style.
The trilogy, made up of the films Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi, is a series of poetic, emotionally moving images. The result is a collection of visual and sound essays—with music by Philip Glass—that tell of the destructive impact of the modern world upon the environment.
Godfrey Reggio, the trilogy’s director, is the inventor of this new film style. His documentary films portray reality while completely shunning fiction and the use of actors and sets.
The screening of the trilogy is a special opportunity offered by the Forum on the occasion of the pre-release of the third and final part, Naqoyqatsi. Come to the Forum site and take advantage of the night ticket by discovering a stimulating visual universe which is sure to leave you pondering long after the final credits have gone. |
