Mind-blowing vision from the godfather of experimental film

Best known for his Qatsi trilogy, director Godfrey Reggio – who spent 14 years as a monk in his youth – has returned with another breathtaking cinematic experience. In his signature wordless style, Reggio tackles the fate of humanity and the planet, unleashing apocalyptic and haunting images in a hypnotic rhythm that places visuals and sound at the forefront. Film leaves viewers questioning the fragility of life and civilization. Is the end already here? Or is there still hope for a new beginning?

The film's score, composed by Reggio’s longtime collaborator Philip Glass, creates a dialogue between sound and Reggio’s surreal, dreamlike imagery. Once Within a Time is a spine-tingling big-screen experience you simply have to see.
