PODCAST | Nicolò Comotti interviews producers Grant Hill and Sophokles Tasioulis, who talk about Voyage of Time: Life’s Journey fromthe 73rd Venice Film Festival.
VOYAGE OF TIME: LIFE’S JOURNEY. The universe unfolds before your eyes in this experience for the senses, mind and soul. Voyage of Time: Life’s Journey is an exploration into our planetary past and a search for humanity’s place in the future. Humming with the energy of nature itself, the film melds innovative special effects with awe-inspiring footage from around the globe and beyond, in search of what lasts, what endures, over time. What does it mean, after all those eons, to be us, here, now? The action traces the scientific chronology of the universe, from the birth of the stars to the explosion of new life on earth, to the planet altering debut of humankind. Malick invites audiences to probe past, present and future in intimate ways. The film shows an array of never-witnessed natural phenomena – celestial and terrestrial, macroscopic and microscopic – all informed by a team of cutting edge science advisors.
The fierce geology of the early planet. The first cells, growing, dividing, exploring every niche open to them. The coming of fish, forests, dinosaurs and our own species with its need to reckon with everything – all this transforms into a hymn to nature, life and the universe. No two people will have the same experience.
