• "There exists in psychiatry a condition of mind called the Ganser syndrome -- or the syndrome of approximate answers. The syndrome describes the behavior of people who seem to be faking insanity, but faking it so well that they eventually take on their insane role permanently. In a sense, they calculatedly drive themselves mad."

  Based on what I've read, some other films I think would be similar to Koyaanisqatsi
  
  
  
  
  • Baraka
    
    Quite probably the film to show the E.T.'s when we make First Contact to give them an idea who we are.
    
    I just learned here that director Fricke was chief camera operator on Koyaanisqatsi, and this film is apparently a response to it.
    
    
    
  • Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind / KAZE NO TANE NO NAUSHIKA
    
    (completely different style, in that it has characters, a plot, dialogue, etc., but possibly similar "feel")
