Naqoyqatsi

[Vince]

Some time ago, we had a discussion in here about the films Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi, by Godfrey Reggio. I said at the time that these were supposed to form part of a trilogy, and that I knew nothing about the third film in the trilogy. I have now found there is a film called Naqoyqatsi. (A life of killing each other - War as a way of life - Civilised violence). We have Koy and Pow on DVD, but I am only able to find the soundtrack for Naqoyqatsi, and no DVD.

Has anyone seen this film, and can they tell me if there is a DVD available. I'd love to buy it as a present for my Granddad.

I can't answer any of your questions but I too will be awaiting the DVD. I'm positive it won't be on DVD yet.

Phillip Glass is nothing short of god like !!!!. Ragazza has good taste

I've found two more films in the same mould as the Godfrey Reggio films. Baraka, as an audio-visual film, apparently taking the Pow and Koy themes a little further, using the Japanese Kodo Drummers, and some Scottish bagpipes.

Another is called Fractal WorlRAB, which is produced by a Welsh company. Don't know much about this one, but I think I'll buy these DVRAB for Granddad, because he loves anything out of the ordinary, and I'll report back on what they are like.

I've heard of Baraka before, but not the Fractal WorlRAB film. Time to browse the web for DVD's

I had no idea there was a 3rd one. I am a HUGE fan of Philip Glass. I woudl suspect this must be fairly new so maybe isn't out on DVD yet - I reckon it will be marketted as a trilogy so it woudl make sense to wait until say September - ready for the xmas market.

Thanks for the link Ragazza - great trailor etc.
