“These films are not aimed at the head or the cerebellum. They’re aimed at your solar plexus. They are a visceral form of cinema.”

After the immense influential trilogy favourites "Koyaanisqatsi,” (1982) “Powaqqatsi” (1988) and “Naqoyqatsi” (2002) (Blu-ray 3 discs set) (A Conversation) of whom I personally consider to be: “the most important artistic moving stills achievements of the last thirty years”, Godfrey Reggio and Philip Glass finally return with yet another visceral, non-narrative, 74 shots, 4K (projected in highest-resolution 4K), 87 minutes, black-and-white infrared film called “Visitors” (Trailer). “Visitors” is now playing in limited release (Screenings), and if you live in New York, be sure to check out The Museum Of Arts Of Design exhibit “Life With Technology: The Cinema Of Godfrey Reggio.”  See above ‘The Playlist’s’ terrific 8-minute, behind-the-scenes. Featuring Steven Soderbergh, Godfrey Reggio,composer Philip Glass, editor Jon Kane and is narrated by musician/performance artist Laurie Anderson. For those who are interested in more of Reggio and Glass watch the 2005 documentary from filmmaker Scott Hicks about Glass here: PART 1, PART 2. This to celebrate his 70th birthday in 2007. And Reggio’s ’92 Anima Mundi here and his ’95 Evidence here.
