The Qatsi Trilogy
A singular artist and activist, Godfrey Reggio is best known for the galvanizing films of The Qatsi Trilogy.

From 1983’s Koyaanisqatsi to 1988’s Powaqqatsi to 2002’s Naqoyqatsi, Reggio takes us on a journey from the ancient to the contemporary, from nature to industry, exploring life out of balance, in transformation, and as war, all the while keeping our eyes wide with wonder.
