OUR MISSION
The Godfrey Reggio Foundation is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to the legacy and vision of renowned filmmaker Godfrey Reggio. Guided by his wife, Marti Reggio, the Foundation aims to perpetuate Godfrey Reggio's profound impact on the world of cinema and philosophy by fostering a creative and intellectually stimulating environment. Through public discussions, correspondence, and engagement on various media platforms, we seek to promote the transformative power of filmmaking and explore the concept of "Future Present" as a guiding principle for life and beyond, all while embracing the potential of social media to connect and educate.

This is an additional call to support the livelihood of Godfrey Reggio and his wife Marti. Over the last 40 years, Reggio’s films have mirrored the psyche of the modern world while revealing the beauty of the living world - Koyaanisqatsi, 1982, with a score by Philip Glass, exposed in a visceral way the effects of our culture on the world in image and music. The new film Once Within a Time, 2022, captures the current multiple crises in stunning visuals, accessing subconscious knowings.
During his lifetime, he has focused on his art. His films have all been created within a not-for-profit documentary status. Godfrey has put their art over financial gain.
Godfrey's ongoing creativity rises in public speaking, writing, drawing, and mentoring. Currently, he needs support, especially at age 84, as he is in a somewhat fragile state.
Funds will be used for his daily living expenses to get through this period where there is no current funding.
