The film is based on an interview of John Lennon by Jerry Levitan in 1969. Levitan, then 14 years old, tracked Lennon to his hotel room at Toronto’s King Edward Hotel after hearing a rumour that Lennon had been sighted at the Toronto Airport. Jerry inveigled his way into John Lennon’s suite and conducted an interview. The animation is based on Levitan’s recording of the interview, which was edited down to 5 minutes. Josh Raskin’s focus was on the interview itself. “I just wanted to literally animate the words, unfurling in the way I imagined they would appear inside the head of a baffled 14-year-old boy interviewing his idol.”

The Passenger is the result of about six years spent in a bedroom with a computer. It began in 1998 as a proposed showreel piece, but then escalated into an unstoppable monstrosity that continued to absorb my life (and savings) until 2006.

A father says goodbye to his young daughter and leaves. As the wide Dutch landscapes live through their seasons so the girl lives through hers. She becomes a young woman, has a family and in time she becomes old, yet within her there is always a deep longing for her father.
The story can be seen as a metaphor. The father leaving on a boat signifies his death and the images of the daughter watching for him to come back is signifying her always thinking about him throughout her life. Towards the end when the now elderly daughter begins to travel through the overgrown, dried up riverbed is supposed to explain that she has died and is now travelling in the afterlife to see her father once again.

здесь не нужно быть любителем манга или некого японского стиля. что в фильме поражает это его происхождение и его создатель. человек, который ставить перед собой задачу сделать то, что его затрагивает, не имея к анимации большого отношения. это всё во наше время, когда мастеров-одиночек фактически нет, а рынок наводнён продуктами больших анимационных студий. ставить компьютер, учит программы, рисует, озвучивает (!) и вот… произведении известно на весь мир.
а автор сделал и успокоился. “ну, могу…”
Voices of a Distant Star was written, directed and produced entirely by Makoto on his Macintosh computer
