Christian Zyp interviews Matt Barats (writer/actor) and Anthony Oberbeck (writer/actor) about their film REVERIES: THE MIND PRISON. You can see the World Premiere as part of the Calgary Underground Film Festival (CUFF) Sunday April 20th, 2025 at 6:45 pm at the Globe Cinema. Director Graham Mason and Screenwriters/ Stars Matt Barats & Anthony Oberbeck will be in attendance.REVERIES: THE MIND PRISON is a comedy movie/art film hybrid, a sprawling experiment in unbridled creativity and collaboration. Told through a combination of narrative scenes, abstract video montages, and meditative voice-overs, it's best described as Aki Kaurismäki meets a lo-fi KOYAANISQATSI narrated by Steven Wright, or as Vulture magazine put it, “Like an Ayahuasca session conducted by Mitch Hedberg.” This is the third movie in a trilogy that includes the comedy art films REVERIES (2018, 46m) and REVERIES: GOING DEEPER (2020, 60m).Matt Barats: https://www.mattbarats.com/reveriesGraham Mason: https://www.graham-mason.com/Anthony Oberbeck: https://vimeo.com/anthonyoberbeckWatch REVERIES: https://vimeo.com/288091227Watch REVERIES: GOING DEEPER: https://vimeo.com/491265630

While the first two films in Godfrey Reggio's Qatsi Trilogy were built on filming in particularly locations, in Naqoyqatsi, the image itself becomes the location as editor and "digital cinematographer" Jon Kane takes us into the simulation that is modern life. Unfortunately, like the early unused setpiece footage from Koyaanisqatsi, the tech here has not aged well, though this time Reggio doesn't seem to realize its cheesiness. Sadly, we lost take one of this conversation and Jonathan Hape was not able to join us for the re-recording. He added a lot to our discussion of the first two Qatsi films, and we wish it could have worked out. You should still go to https://www.jonathan-hape.com/ and check out his music.

I dagens episode tar Lise, Karin og Jakob deg gjennom en reise gjennom kunstfilmens verden. Kunstfilm er en sjanger som ofte virker utilgjengelig og avskrekkende for det generelle publikum. Gjennom sendingen tar sendeteamet deg med gjennom tre fantastiske filmer som gir deg en god og effektiv inngang til denne nisje-sjangeren. Vi snakker om den fantastisk hypnotiserende naturdokumentarfilmen KOYAANISQATSI av Godfrey Reggio, den intense sykehus- og kirurgifilmen DE HUMANI CORPORIS FABRICA av Lucien Castaing Taylor og Verena Paravel, og fiksjons/dokumentar hybridfilmen SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM av William Greaves.Gjennom reisen svipper vi innom temaer som katastrofale boligprosjekter, Andreas Versalius og medisinhistorie, fødsel med keisersnitt, og skillet mellom fiksjon og virkelighet.

We start into Godfrey Reggio's Qatsi Trilogy this week with what many consider the strongest of the three films, mostly because Ron Fricke's cinematography and editing is masterful in it. Built from scenes of natural beauty and alienating industry with a phenomenal sountrack by Philip Glass, Koyaanisqatsi is a deeply effecting visual poem. Our dear friend Jonathan Hape (https://www.jonathan-hape.com/) joins us for the entire trilogy (probably).

Face your negativity

 We are facing big problems and then we continuously think on the bad outcome instead to have a clear precise focus on the solution. We want to focus our mind on the solution, but we can't. Because we are overwhelmed by the problems and are afraid to mess even more up when we decide or act wrong… All these suppressings of negativity through positive thinking will make everything worse… So more we are involved in thinking negatively so more we attract the negative. And if we suppress the negativity with positive thinking we even attract much more the negative outcome. When we are facing the negative thoughts they will lesser after some time and we lose the identification with that negative outcome. Thinking negatively is better than suppressing our negative thoughts.It is since over 10 years, science proved and since 1000 of years proved through meditation that the feelings are creating our thoughts and the thoughts can't create feelings. The brain science found out there is only a one-way road between feelings and thoughts and also the clinical psychologists confirmed that. What is the cause of our negative thoughts?Our mind wants to protect us and that is positive. At average 80% of our thoughts are fear driven or to avoid pain and only 20% of our thoughts are pleasure driven…And here starts the problem, we don't need to be afraid because almost we are not facing our death. Why we can't enjoy pain or why we don't care for pain like for instance the Indians in India or South America, 20 years ago? Life would be much easier.    What are the solutions? 1.) Breath deep in your negativity so that the negative feelings are coming up and with breath out, you release the negativity. Do it until the negativity is gone.2.) Write down for 15 minutes all of your negative thoughts regardless if they repeat or are nonsense… just keep writing. Then read them, prioritize them what is the worst put on place number 1. For every negative thought, we write down the worst outcome. We feel that and the negativity is done. Don't look for solutions. Be negative. If this is done the solutions will come by itself the next days.  3.) My favorite. I love it! Be for 45 minutes (put your timer on 45 minutes) negative. Get the most depressing music and play it for that time. I have done it with  “Koyaanisqatsi” by Philip Glass, awesome music!   And then be as negative as possible, exaggerate your negativity as much as possible. Be the worst complainer and the most negative person in the galaxy, nobody should be able to compete with your negativity. It is absolutely forbidden to think positive or to laugh. If you do so punish yourself!!! And then dance for 10 minutes. Do this for 1 month… Your life will be transformed.4.) Make exhausting sport that will change your mind. 5.) Build your enemies a throne. (Sufi proverb)Make every day a grateful list and make even for your spouse a grateful list.Regardless how wicked your enemies, parents, colleagues or spouse are, find for every person the good thing,- why you are thankful for them. And regardless what happens to you, think Thank You…That will transform your life. My Video: Face your negativity  https://youtu.be/9HzkDg8uW3wMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Face-your-negativity.mp3

Games? Must we? This week we're leaving Spooktober behind us and kicking off No-Theme-ber with a bang, as King Bob frontman and Roxy Fever host Jackson McDonald returns with our second Hitchcock in just three weeks as he redeems himself by bringing a cross-country spy thriller to the table that set the template for summer thrills for everything that's come after it. Yes, it's 1959's North by Northwest, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, written by Ernest Lehman, and starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Leo G. Carroll and Martin Landau. A classic mistaken identity thriller, Hitchcock is recombining story elements from a number of spy films of his past, leaving one final stamp on the genre before turning his focus back to horror. The end result is a movie that has its fingerprints all over not just the Mission: Impossible franchise, but what we expect from blockbuster entertainment period. Plus: Jackson and JMo combine for theatrical field trips to The Wild Robot and Venom 3: The Last Dance, while Hayley's still buzzing over a visit to the Video Stop in Watrous, Saskatchewan. Listen to King Bob's new album, Rookie: linktr.ee/allhailkingbob Other works referenced in this episode include The Birds, The Stand, Longlegs, Us, Shutter Island, Malignant, The Thing, Star Wars, Fargo, High Fidelity, The Black Phone, Invitation to Hell, Casa Bonita Mi Amor, 6 Days to Air, Where We Call Home, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Vertigo, Rear Window, Secret Window, Trap, Koyaanisqatsi, Family Guy, Mad Men, Rope, Charade, Big Trouble in Little China, Total Recall, Hail Caesar!, Burn After Reading, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, The Maltese Falcon, Jaws, Rebecca, and The 39 Steps, among others. We'll be back next week as No-Theme-ber continues with the Steve Martin rom-com Roxanne, famously filmed in Nelson, BC (or at least famously in this part of the world), a selection brought to us by beloved guest Rachel Hadaway, who will be joining us for that one.

"Koyaanisqatsi" crossed my mind, as did "Different Trains". Ebow was abused. Aside from electric guitar, all the other sounds are sampled or processed from the field recording." Prague workshop conversation reimagined by Alex Vald.

“The idea of ‘chasing the panther' is that the panther serves as this metaphor for art, and so it's something that you chase after even thought it is in some ways very, very dangerous, and I think Carolyn would say that is one hundred percent the story of her life, chasing art.” That's writer and filmmaker Gregory Collins explaining the title to his very first collaboration, Chasing the Panther: Adventures & Misadventures of a Cinematic Life, written with the noted independent film producer Carolyn Pfeiffer, who as a young woman found herself swept up in the roiling waters of the French New Wave and Italian film scenes of the '60s and '70s. Together, Gregory and Carolyn have written a vibrant coming-of-age memoir telling the origin story of one of the film industry's first female executives—a woman once dubbed a Hollywood “mini-mogul” by The Wall Street Journal. As the head of Alive Films and Island Alive, Carolyn produced a number of influential films, including “Stop Making Sense,” “Koyaanisqatsi”, “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” “Trouble in Mind,” “Far North,” and “The Whales of August.” An accomplished screenwriter and producer in his own right, Gregory's films have premiered at the Malawi International Film Festival, and at the Sarasota and Seattle film festivals. He has taught producing and screenwriting at Penn State University and has served as the director of development of Burnt Orange Productions, at the University of Texas at Austin. Join us at the front end of this episode, as Carolyn and Gregory discuss how they worked together, and share some wild stories about Carolyn's experience on the frontlines of French New Wave cinema, Fellini's Rome, and Swinging London—and then stay with us after the break, as we visit with Gregory and examine the ways he has shifted his focus as a writer from the screen to the page.   Learn more about our guests: Carolyn Pfeiffer, LinkedIn Carolyn Pfeiffer, Twitter Gregory Collins, website Gregory Collins, Twitter Please support the sponsors who support our show.

Three films by Godfrey Reggio and Philip Glass present wordless imagery and music to send a cosmic warning about civilization’s imbalance, exploitation, and destruction. The meanings that we access through works of art are not confined to the conscious intentions of the artists. This critical truth came to mind while watching The Qatsi Trilogy—three films directed by Godfrey Reggio, and scored by Philip Glass. These are films without any talking, just imagery and music. The only text comes at the end, when the odd-sounding film titles are explained. Philip Glass's music is an essential component. It’s not the usual situation where the music accompanies a narrative, or helps illustrate it. The music is united to the visuals as if they were one thing. I know people who are maddened by Glass’s music, which is characterized by a lot of repetition. But here it aligns the viewer’s attention and emotions with the images. The repetitive motifs help the mind let go of the scattered, wandering forms of attention that can be habitual for us. Koyaanisqatsi, from 1982, starts with shots of nature in awe-inspiring aspects: mountains, canyons, deserts, and so on, with human beings conspicuously absent. Eventually we shift to footage of modern civilization, and in comparison to nature these images seem bizarre and outlandish. Two techniques comprise most of the film: slow motion and fast motion. The fast motion is actually time-lapse photography: footage of events that take hours or even days appearing to take place in just minutes. The movement of vehicles, traffic zipping through huge highway systems, masses of people, colossal buildings in major cities and the traffic within those cities: time-lapse photography takes away the familiarity of these things and makes them seem alien. In purely visual terms, the images are astounding, weird, beautiful, yet disturbing. Slow motion is used when we are looking at things more close up, especially people. Watching the movement of a crowd in slow motion, the familiar is once again supplanted by the sensation of strangeness. These beings, in the way they move, the way they avoid each other’s gaze, evoke questions and doubts about human nature, our striving and seeking, our ignorance and mortality. Powaqqatsi, from 1988, refrains from time-lapse photography, but it still uses a lot of slow motion. Here the footage is from the lands of non-European people. First we see traditional forms of work such as planting. Then civilization shows up. Instead of fairly well-dressed folks we see a much poorer populace. Modernity has conquered this non-white world, but it hasn’t helped the people. Here’s the theme of injustice and exploitation, and one’s heart hurts more watching this than it did during the more alienated first film. Naqoyqatsi was released in 2002, after a gap of thirteen years. Why this long delay I don't know. The film uses graphics, animation, and rotoscope photography to visualize the mind realm, the world of thinking and science. The mathematical and geometric designs become like a relentless drum beat of “progress.” Eventually the rhythm becomes the marching of soldiers, the creation of weapons, guns firing and the detonation of bombs. It shows the cleverness of humans serving the expansion of war. One thing that makes The Qatsi Trilogy difficult is that it seeks to evoke the impersonal as the source of meaning in the modern world.

Glass has written music for experimental theater and for Academy Award-winning motion pictures such as “The Hours” and Martin Scorsese's “Kundun,” while “Koyaanisqatsi,” his initial filmic landscape with Godfrey Reggio and the Philip Glass Ensemble, may be the most radical and influential mating of sound and vision since “Fantasia.” His associations, personal and professional, with leading rock, pop and world music artists date back to the 1960s, including the beginning of his collaborative relationship with artist Robert Wilson. Indeed, Glass is the first composer to win a wide, multi-generational audience in the opera house, the concert hall, the dance world, in film and in popular music – simultaneously.He was born in 1937 and grew up in Baltimore. He studied at the University of Chicago, the Juilliard School and in Aspen with Darius Milhaud. Finding himself dissatisfied with much of what then passed for modern music, he moved to Europe, where he studied with the legendary pedagogue Nadia Boulanger (who also taught Aaron Copland , Virgil Thomson and Quincy Jones) and worked closely with the sitar virtuoso and composer Ravi Shankar. He returned to New York in 1967 and formed the Philip Glass Ensemble – seven musicians playing keyboards and a variety of woodwinds, amplified and fed through a mixer.The new musical style that Glass was evolving was eventually dubbed “minimalism.” Glass himself never liked the term and preferred to speak of himself as a composer of “music with repetitive structures.” Much of his early work was based on the extended reiteration of brief, elegant melodic fragments that wove in and out of an aural tapestry. Or, to put it another way, it immersed a listener in a sort of sonic weather that twists, turns, surrounds, develops.There has been nothing “minimalist” about his output. In the past 25 years, Glass has composed more than twenty five operas, large and small; twelve symphonies, thirteen concertos; soundtracks to films ranging from new scores for the stylized classics of Jean Cocteau to Errol Morris's documentary about former defense secretary Robert McNamara; nine string quartets; a growing body of work for solo piano and organ. He has collaborated with Paul Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Yo-Yo Ma, and Doris Lessing, among many others. He presents lectures, workshops, and solo keyboard performances around the world, and continues to appear regularly with the Philip Glass Ensemble.From https://philipglass.com/biography/. For more information about Philip Glass:Words Without Music: https://wwnorton.com/books/Words-Without-Music/“The beginner's guide to Philip Glass”: https://www.eno.org/discover-opera/the-beginners-guide-to-philip-glass/“How Philip Glass Went From Driving Taxis to Composing”: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2018/04/philip-glass-taxi-driver-composer/558278/“Philip Glass”: https://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/philip-glass
