It is the second film in the Qatsi trilogy.
" Powaqqatsi" is a Hopi neologism coined by Reggio meaning" parasitic way of life" or" life in transition".
While" Koyaanisqatsi" focused on modern life in industrial countries," Powaqqatsi", which similarly has no dialogue, focuses more on the conflict in Third World countries between traditional ways of life and the new ways of life introduced with industrialization.
As with" Koyaanisqatsi" and the third and final part of the' Qatsi' trilogy," Naqoyqatsi", the film is strongly related to its soundtrack, written by Philip Glass.

I Want Your Love (film)
I Want Your
Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film.
Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews.
The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons.
The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes.
The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword.
This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively.

Question: Are the directors of both films Powaqqatsi and Burnt by the Sun from the same country?
Answer: no
