Holiday Film poster

Released in 1983, Holiday Film is a documentary film directed by Peter Tscherkassky, running about 9 minutes.

What it’s about. A woman on a meadow, strolling around, narcisstically involved, wandering. Now and again one can see her breasts through her half-opened shirt. The camera films with a powerful telephoto lens. This idyll is radically destroyed when the woman suddenly looks directly into the camera. There is an immediate cut (the voyeur has been discovered) and the whole sequence of events begins from the beginning again, but each time re-filmed from the last till finally, only a completely abstract, flickering picture remains.

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.0/10, Holiday Film has been warmly received by audiences.
