Abstract

The article proposes an analysis of the group creation of the short film Even though it is night, with a special focus on the materials raised by the multidisciplinary approach and the setbacks caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the theoretical perspectives elaborated by Cecilia Salles, this genetic analysis also extends to geographical, social, temporal, ethical, and referential contextualization. It highlights artistic practices and positions of creators who influenced this creation, such as Peter Brook, João Canijo, or Yorgos Lanthimos.
