A carnet de voyage is a travel diary, which forms the framework for this beautifully made, Oscar-nominated animated short by Bastien Dubois. We get to look into the journal of Dubois's trip to Madagascar, including a trek to a remote village where our white adventurer gets to observe famadihana, the Malagasy "turning of the bones" ritual, in which family members rewrap the bodies of their departed relatives in a festival of music and dancing.
I especially like the various animation styles used throughout, including what looks like rotoscoping.
