Directed and photographed by Ron Fricke (one of the main collaborators on Godfrey Reggio's 1982 masterwork 'Koyaanisqatsi'), 'Baraka' was filmed in 70mm in 24 countries over 13 months, and explores man's relationship with nature. Covering the ancient and the modern, the technological and the natural, the film uses music and images to chart the cycle of life and modern man's destructive relation to the planet. |
