1983United States85 min

This groundbreaking 1983 experimental film, directed by Godfrey Reggio, offers a mesmerizing, non-narrative exploration of the conflict between nature and technology. Through stunning time-lapse and slow-motion cinematography, set to Philip Glass's iconic minimalist score, it juxtaposes breathtaking natural landscapes with the relentless pace of urban life and industrialization. The film, whose title means "life out of balance" in Hopi, invites viewers to a meditative yet unsettling reflection on humanity's impact on the planet, without dialogue or traditional plot.
