Posted by CowboyNeal on from the philip-glass-and-yo-yo-ma dept.

Karl_Hungus writes "Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi, the first two installments of Reggio and Glass' trilogy are to be joined by Naqoyqatsi, due out next month. Naqoy.com has some stills, and some fascinating Flash. A brief discussion of the technical side includes the figure of 3.5 terabytes of images collected in the making of the film."

  1. Baraka? by majestynine · · Score: 4, Interesting
    His idea was to grab images from real life - emotional, raw, honest images - and present them in a non-verbal, non-linear fashion, forging a kind of concert cinema.

    From just this sentence, it sounds a lot like Baraka (1992), another 'movie'/feature/whatever, that was basically just a bunch of beautiful and mesmerising pieces of footage placed together. No real story, just footage of beautiful places around the world. I would recommend renting the Baraka DVD if you're ever bored one night.

    Baraka also had a wonderful score/sound production. I'd be sure that the Qatsi Trilogy will too.
