Monday - 8-11-10 - Koyaanisqatsi

This afternoon we held a session in the Pod to show the students Koyaanisqatsi, the 1st of 3 movies directed and produced by Reggio. This is a non-dialog film in which it creates a conversation about urban life and technology vs the environment and how we have come to depend on both just as much. Each chapter is titled by a track from the soundtrack and reveals the beauty and beast of the world. Many students didn't understand at first why the film didn't have a script and wondered what they would take away from the experience. Hopefully the film has addressed some of the issues they are looking to raise trough their structures project. The link below is a great indication of what to expect (be open minded)
