Anima Mundi (also known as The Soul of the World)[4] is a 1991 Italian-American short documentary film directed by Godfrey Reggio.[5] The film focuses on the world of nature and wildlife, particularly jungles, sealife, and insects.[6]
Production
[edit]Anima Mundi was commissioned by Italian jewellers Bulgari for use by the World Wide Fund for Nature in their Biological Diversity Program.[7]
Music
[edit]The film was scored by Philip Glass, who also worked with Reggio on Koyaanisqatsi (1983), Powaqqatsi (1988), and, later, on Naqoyqatsi (2002).[8] Anima Mundi features many of the techniques from the Qatsi trilogy, but it is not considered to be directly related to the series.[9] Two tracks from the soundtrack, "Living Waters" and "The Beginning," appeared on the soundtrack to the 1997 film The Truman Show.
Home media
[edit]Anima Mundi was released on the Criterion Collection alongside the Qatsi trilogy on December 11, 2012.[10][11][12]
