action
Mother earth washes herself. Square plates swim by in the stream in front of her. Time father asks who can be seen on it and mother earth answers him that they are people. They support each other, share their food and think about the generations that will come after them. A little later, the plates became boxes and the community spirit of the people was lost. Mother Earth suspects that people wanted to protect themselves. You can see larger boxes that people take from smaller boxes or close individual boxes with a lid - the dominance of the strong over the weak. Mother Earth believes that people need more time, but Father Zeit believes more in more brains and foresees the next 20 years: The air will get blacker and blacker, the boxes bigger and bigger - people will displace themselves.
Father Time reconstructs how it got this far: Once people shared everything. At some point someone began to hide his food from the others - he became the king with a small castle and those who got along with him became his comrades-in-arms. The rest was excluded and at some point had nothing more. When Marco Polo toured China and returned to Venice, he brought the Doge of Venice with dynamite, a powerful weapon against the enemy, who then built “nationalistic boxes” around their castles to protect themselves - the boxes were created. Father Time and Mother Earth know that people need to listen to each other more. In a vision of the future, hands come out of the boxes and grab the hands of other boxes. Father Time wants to know from Mother Earth whether humanity will manage to survive. Mother Earth believes it is possible because humanity has this choice - Father Time wonders if humanity will make it in time.
production
Voyage to Next was commissioned by the Institute of World Order and was first performed in 1974. Michael Sporn , one of the illustrators of the film, described in retrospect how difficult it was to make the film: After a third of the work, the money ran out, so that other parts of the film had to be improvised and in a reduced form. Director and screenwriter Faith Hubley, on the other hand, had developed breast cancer while working on the film and was receiving treatment.
The soundtrack comes from Dizzy Gillespie , who also dubbed Father Time. Hans Koller played the saxophone music .
