Miramax Films and Steven Soderbergh are proud to present NAQOYQATSI ("Life as War"), from filmmaker Godfrey Reggio, in collaboration with composer Philip Glass, whose original score features renowned cellist, Yo-Yo Ma. In this cinematic concert - a follow up to the critically acclaimed "Koyaanisqatsi" ("Life out of Balance"), and "Powaqqatsi" ("Life in Transformation) - mesmerizing images plucked from everyday reality, then visually altered with state-of-the-art digital techniques, chronicle the shift from a world organized by the principles of nature to one dominated by technology, the synthetic and the virtual. Extremes of intimacy and spectacle, tragedy and hope fuse in a tidal wave of visuals and music, giving rise to a unique, artistic experience that reflects Reggio's vision of a brave new globalized world.
