Between Time and Timbuktu is a television film directed by Fred Barzyk and based on the a number of works by Kurt Vonnegut. Produced by National Educational Television and WGBH-TV in Boston, Massachusetts, it was telecast March 13, 1972 as a NET Playhouse special.
The television script was published later that year, illustrated with photographs by Jill Krementz and stills from the television production. While the script was primarily written by David O'Dell, the preface to the published script notes that others - including Barzyk and Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding - also contributed. Vonnegut himself served as an "advisor and contributor to the script."
