Of course, that should have read “NAQOYQATSI”. (You know, the preview feature doesn’t help with the title) ---

Now I feel hideously out of the loop for not knowing what NAQOYAQATSI stands for… ---

The third movie in the Koyaanisqatsi (1983)/ Powaqqatsi (1988) Trilogy. Basically ( **really basically** ) trippy imagery set to the music of Philip Glass. ---

I’ve never heard of it either **tavalla** , but the [IMDb](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0145937) has. ---

And don’t forget that _ **Koyaanisqatsi** _ and _ **Powaqqatsi** _ come out on video on September 12th! (Now if I can just find a theater in my area that’s going to show NAQOYQATSI when it comes out.) ---

For those without QuickTime, the trailer is available in other formats through [iFilm](http://www.ifilm.com/ifilm/product/film_multimedia/0,4470,2448360,00.html). Can I gloat? I saw _Powaqqatsi_ a number of years ago with Philip Glass conducting a live orchestra accompaniment. A significant event in the life of any Glassophile. ---

WHOOHOO!! They finally finished it. I can’t wait to see the trailor but with my dial up connection I may have to wait. Anyone going to check out the new Philip Glass opera _Galileo Galilei_ this fall? I’ll most certainly be in attendance at BAM in Oct. ---

A significant event in the life of any Glassophile. \*\* Oh, and gloat all you want, if I may join you. A couple of years ago there was a “Glass on Film” festival at BAM during which time I saw the Philip Glass ensemble perform **Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi** and a few other short films by Glass and Reggio including **Anima Mundi** and a clever and disturbing little film called **Evidence**. I am hoping many of these will tour again soon in the publicity campaign for **Naqoyqatsi**. ---
