Qatsi trilogy
The Qatsi trilogy is the informal name given to a series of three films produced by Godfrey Reggio and scored by Philip Glass:
- Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of balance (1982)
- Powaqqatsi: Life in transformation (1988)
- Naqoyqatsi: Life as war (2002)
The titles of all three films are words from the Hopi language, in which the word qatsi means "life."
