Qatsi trilogy
Appearance
The Qatsi trilogy is the informal name given to a series of three films produced by Godfrey Reggio and scored by Philip Glass:
- Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of balance (1983)
- Powaqqatsi: Life in transformation (1988)
- Naqoyqatsi: Life as war (2002)
The titles of all three films are words from the language of the Hopi people, in which the word "qatsi" means "life."
