Koyaanisqatsi (11-Nov-1983)
Director: Godfrey Reggio Writers: Ron Fricke; Michael Hoenig; Godfrey Reggio; Alton Walpole Keywords: Experimental The title is a Hopi word meaning "life out of balance". Scored by Philip Glass, with a repetitive chant sung in Hopi, translated as follows:
If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster.
Near the Day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky.
A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans.
