Godfrey Reggio (born in New Orleans on March 29, 1940) is an American experimental film director and documentary filmmaker, best known for the Qatsi Trilogy, a series of non-verbal films that explore the conflicted relationship between humanity, nature, and technology. The works were made in close collaboration with composer Philip Glass, who created their iconic minimalist scores. The trilogy includes *Koyaanisqatsi* (1982), *Powaqqatsi* (1988), and *Naqoyqatsi* (2002). His filmography also includes other works that maintain a distinctive visual style, such as the short film *Anima Mundi* (1992) and the feature film *Visitors* (2013). His cinema, lacking dialogue and conventional narrative, relies on a powerful visual language based on techniques such as time-lapse and slow-motion to stimulate reflection in the viewer. For his innovative contribution to documentary cinema, Reggio has received numerous accolades at international festivals, including a lifetime achievement award from the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA).
