Synopsis
A Deadmanâs Holiday is a âFrankenfilmâ encompassing Don Bestâs 20-year animation career. It was assembled together from the cadaver of pieces of unused 16mm animation from various sources such as completed works, incomplete works, tests and experiments. A Deadmanâs Holiday acts as a document of Bestâs filmmaking and animation career. Besides being a historical document, this is a personal film that deals with the theme of memory and the past, which is reflected by the vocal aspect of the soundtrack.
