Synopsis

In this cinematic concert with music composed by Philip Glass, mesmerizing images are reanimated from everyday reality, and then altered with digital techniques, chronicling the shift from a world organized by the principles of nature to one dominated by technology. The Hopi term naqoy means war, qatsi means life, but this is not the war of the battlefield, it is the war of ordinary daily living in a brave new globalized world.
