GORDEEFF, Eliane Muniz. A metaspectacle: the body in the short film 'A Pesar de Todo' (Walter Tournier). Estúdio [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.5, pp.37-42. ISSN 1647-6158.

The objective of this paper is to present how a work of animation provides us with images of deep emotional appeal through its materiality. The work in question is the short film In Spite of Everything (2003), by stop-motion animator Uruguayan Walter Tournier, who at certain moments gives the appearance of a theatrical performance, effect produced by the use of elements out of diegesis - where the puppet "lives" in the same plane of reality its animator. It is a protest against war.

Keywords : film; animation; stop motion; corporeality; theater.
