In 2000, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, aesthetically, or historically significant". However, because of copyright issues, the film was out of print for most of the 1990s. Koyaanisqatsi is the best known of the trilogy and is considered a cult film.
The trilogy depicts different aspects of the relationship between humans, nature and technology. The film is the first in the Qatsi film trilogy: it is succeeded by Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002). It no longer describes the world in which we live." In the Hopi language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means "life out of balance". It's because, from my point of view, our language is in a state of vast humiliation. Reggio explained the lack of dialogue by stating "it's not for lack of love of the language that these films have no words. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse footage of cities and many natural landscapes across the United States. Koyaanisqatsi ( English: / k oʊ ˌ j ɑː n ɪ s ˈ k ɑː t s iː/ ), also known as Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance, is a 1982 American experimental non-narrative film produced and directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke.
