The Profile

American filmmaker best known for non-narrative, experimental films and the Qatsi trilogy; frequent collaborator with composer Philip Glass.

Best known for the Qatsi trilogy (Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Naqoyqatsi). Koyaanisqatsi (highlighted in the reviews) is a largely wordless film scored by Philip Glass and noted for its juxtaposition of music and edited imagery.

Reviews highlight Koyaanisqatsi as a nearly wordless visual-music composition that pairs Philip Glass's score with striking, often fast-forwarded images. Critics praise the film's exploration of contemporary life and its assembly-line modernity. The work is presented as contemplative and formally daring.
