MOVIE NIGHT RETURNS: The End of All Music presents KOYAANISQATSI at The Lyric Theater

Experience the ultimate cinematic trance on the big screen!

  • Date: Wednesday, Dec. 9th

  • Time: 7:00 PM

  • Location: The Lyric Theater

  • Cost: FREE — sponsored by Hill Country Cannabis & The Oxford Film Fest

With zero dialogue and crazy visuals set to Philip Glass’s hypnotic score—one of the greatest soundtracks of all time—Koyaanisqatsi is a pure audiovisual ride. Roger Ebert praised it as “an impressive visual and listening experience,” and The Times declared Glass’s music the vital pulse driving every frame.

A Hopi word translating to “life out of balance,” Koyaanisqatsi features no dialogue and no traditional narrative—just astonishing, hypnotic cinematography paired with one of the greatest film scores in cinematic history.

From sweeping canyons to frantic urban time-lapses, Philip Glass’s legendary minimalist score transforms the screen into a pulsing, trance-inducing symphony that must be heard through theater sound.

Huge thanks to our pals and sponsors, Hill Country Cannabis and The Oxford Film Fest, for making this screening completely free to the community!

Bring a friend, bring a Grove chair, and experience it the way it was meant to be seen. 🌌
