We come in peace. Hell, we come in packets.
You can now pre-order Zone 1 DVD’s of Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi! Only $22.49. If you haven’t seen Koyaanisqatsi, it’s about as marvellous and moving as an 87 minute Philip Glass minimalist soundtrack set to beautiful time-lapse photography of the natural world can be. Previously you could only get hold of DVDs by paying a >$100 donation to the film’s non-profit owners, the Institute for Regional Education. On the other hand, I’d like to see their planned sequel, Naqoyqatsi (‘War Time’) – so maybe I should donate, at that.
