[COMMUNITY PARTNER EVENT] Pre-Season Film Screening: Koyaanisqatsi with Music by Philip Glass

Join the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music and the MAH (Museum of Art & History) for a special pre-season screening of the groundbreaking 1982 film Koyaanisqatsi (“life out of balance”), directed by Godfrey Reggio with an iconic original score by Philip Glass. Told entirely through stunning imagery and Glass’ mesmerizing music, this non-narrative film explores the relationship between humanity, technology, and the natural world. More than four decades after its release, its powerful meditation on modern life feels more relevant than ever. A landmark in independent cinema and a defining moment in Philip Glass’ career, Koyaanisqatsi remains a visually breathtaking and thought-provoking work that continues to inspire audiences around the world.
The title comes from the Hopi language. The Hopi Tribal Nation is located in what is now known as northeastern Arizona.
