One of the experimental videos we watch was called Koyaanisqatsi which was directed by Godfrey Reggio. The videos running time is 87minutes long the whole video is made in colour also made in 1983

The name of the film koyannisqatsi is a Hopi Indian word that means Life out of balance also have other meanings which I found on a website ("crazy life," or "life in turmoil," or "life disintegrating," or "life out of balance," or "a state of life that calls for another way of living) I found this on www.thecityreview.com/koyaan.html

The film was based around on the day to day life though out the whole world showing you what the world looks like today all over he world in all different places.

The other film I watched was 1001 Nights By Jananne Al-Ani it was made in 1998 the video was made in colour and has a running time of 6 minutes long.

the othetr one we watched was telling lies which was based on a phone call about the night before and basicly making up lies as the phone calls went on.

The similarities between the films is that telling lies and 1001 nights was based on events which where spoke out but Koyaanisqatsi is showing images of some of the examples talked about in 1001 nights for example when we watch an explosion that happens in Koyaanisqatisi.
