“Life out of Balance” is the English translation of the title, referring to the balance between man’s technology and nature. Using movie as art to depict this imbalance, the viewer is left to answer the questions raised by the movie. The meaning of Koyaanisqatsi is whatever you wish to make of it. This movie is art.

A brief introduction precedes the movie and a discussion after the movie will be led by Fred Stoss, Librarian: Biological, Ecology and Geosciences, & Mathematics. With degrees in biology, zoology and information studies, and nearly a decade of research work in toxicology and environmental health, Stoss has dedicated his professional and personal life to climate change, sustainability research and environmental advocacy.

This film is presented by University Libraries with co-sponsorship from UB’s Professional Staff Sustainable Living Committee and UB’s Sustainability office.
