Question: Are the directors of both films Powaqqatsi and Burnt by the Sun from the same country?

Godfrey Reggio( born March 29, 1940) is an American director of experimental documentary films. <SEP> 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. <SEP> Burnt by the Sun( translit. The film depicts the story of a senior Red Army officer, played by Mikhalkov, and his family during the Great Purge of the late 1930s in the Stalinist Soviet Union. It also stars Oleg Menshikov, Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė and Mikhalkov's daughter Nadezhda Mikhalkova.

Utomlyonnye solntsem 2: Predstoyanie) is a 2010 Russian drama film directed by and starring Nikita Mikhalkov. The film consists of two parts: Exodus(" Предстояние", literally' Prestanding') and(" Цитадель"). It is the sequel to Mikhalkov's 1994 film" Burnt by the Sun", set in the Eastern Front of World War II. " Burnt by the Sun 2" had the largest production budget ever seen in Russian cinema($ 55 mln), but it turned out to be Russia's biggest box office flop, and received negative reviews from critics both in Russia and abroad. <SEP> Mikhalkov is a three- time laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation( 1993, 1995, 1999) and is a Full Cavalier of the Order" For Merit to the Fatherland".

Nikita Sergeyevich Mikhalkov( born 21 October 1945) is a Russian filmmaker, actor, and head of the Russian Cinematographers' Union. <SEP> 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". Powaqqatsi( or Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation) is a 1988 American documentary film directed by Godfrey Reggio and the sequel to Reggio's experimental 1982 film," Koyaanisqatsi". 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.
