Koyaanisqatsi (1982)

Step into a unique cinematic experience with Koyaanisqatsi. This groundbreaking documentary explores the impact of modern life on the world around us — entirely without dialogue.

Set to the hypnotic music of Philip Glass, the film moves through a mesmerising flow of images, from vast natural landscapes and powerful forces of nature to crowded cities and rapidly evolving technology.

Through striking slow motion and time lapse sequences, Koyaanisqatsi offers a powerful reflection on humanity’s growing distance from nature. Image and sound blend seamlessly together, creating an experience that is both immersive and thought provoking.

This is not simply a film to watch, but one to truly experience.

The screening is part of the Architecture Month programme in Hilversum.
