Visitors – Sydney Festival
The iconic Qatsi trilogy has a 21st-century sequel.
Overview
Director Godfrey Reggio and composer Philip Glass have joined forces with filmmaker Jon Kane to create a "cinematic time capsule for the 21st century".
Visitors is a haunting black-and-white film that explores humanity's relationship with technology, and the potential dangers such a relationship could bring. The wordless film will be shown in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House, accompanied by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra playing Glass's musical score live.
The film comes to Sydney after its premiere at this year's Toronto Film Festival. Its release coincides with the 30th anniversary of Glass and Reggio's first collaboration — the phenomenal Koyaanisqatsi, the first of the Qatsi Trilogy.
Visitors is a rare and wonderful opportunity to see this special mode of filmmaking at its best, with the score performed live in an unbeatable venue.
