Filmmakers, video artists, photographers, and musicians around the world credit the film as a major influence in shaping a new and unforgettable language. (1982, 87 min.)

�� Reggio traveled to regions of developing nations rarely seen on screen to capture the impact of technological progress on native cultures. Over six months, he and his crew journeyed to a dozen countries, including India, Egypt, Brazil, Peru, Kenya, Nepal, and Nigeria, ﬁlming ordinary people at work and play, and revealing

Naqoyaqatsi takes us from a world controlled by the beauty of nature to a world dominated by technology and digital manipulation – the hyperaccelerated, globally wired 21st century. Unlike the previous two ﬁlms, Naqoyaqatsi features little location work, but instead uses a method Reggio describes as “image as location.” Created shortly before Sept. 11, 2001, the ﬁlm is considered prophetic in its depiction of contemporary society.
