Koyaanisqatsi is the first film in the Qatsi trilogy depicting the world consisting of nature, humans and technology. The word 'koyaanisqatsi' itself is translated as 'life out of balance'
absence of dialogs is compensated by the sequence of powerful images, shown at different speed that creates an interesting effect of first getting a viewer bored for a while (when showing slow motion landscapes) and then speeding up the footage so it is impossible to look away, because instinctively a viewer is afraid to miss something (we can compare it with music videos where scenes are changing very fast and a viewer is able to see it, but unable to get the multiple details, thus he is kept interested as he can never get enough)
