THE EXPERIENCE

Celebrated director Godfrey Reggio’s (Koyaanisqatsi) experimental film is unlike any other from his already daring career: a bardic fairy tale about the end of the world and the beginning of a new one, tinged with apocalyptic comedy, rapturous cinematography, unforgettable vistas, and the innocence and hopes of a new generation. Featuring an electrifying score composed by Reggio’s longtime collaborator Philip Glass, with additional vocals from Sussan Deyhim. Prior to the film, we will present “Pastoral Music Reimagined,” an original electro acoustic music composition feeding into audio reactive visual synthesis from composer Michael Anderson (Friends After Good Sound), musicians Betty Booher (Bellows and Squawk), Kelly McMurry (Vancouver Symphony Orchestra), and visual artist Matthew Rempes (Synth Library and CETI). 

ON SCREEN: Once Within a Time

2023. Directed by Godfrey Reggio. Runtime: 54 minutes.

Celebrated director Godfrey Reggio returns after ten years with a new experimental film unlike any other from his already daring career: a bardic fairy tale about the end of the world and the beginning of a new one, tinged with apocalyptic comedy, rapturous cinematography, unforgettable vistas, and the innocence and hopes of a new generation. Once Within a Time is an anarchic comedy told without words, a sensory feast to be felt through art and music. This multidisciplinary work shows us life on Earth as humanity clashes with the five fundamental elements—earth, air, water, fire, and money— headed towards a critical moment of choice between annihilation and redemption. Featuring an electrifying score composed by Reggio’s longtime collaborator Philip Glass, with additional vocals from Sussan Deyhim and co-directed by veteran editor and filmmaker Jon Kane.
