Representation and memory, Animated documentary, Sensitive representation strategiesAbstract
This article discusses the narrative resources used in animating a filmic narrative based on testimonies of 20th century war stories. The film work Chris the Swiss, by illustrator and filmmaker Anja Kofmel, is analyzed, establishing as main argument the use of animated materials to mobilize and elaborate aspects of the traumatic past, a characteristic that has emerged with some frequency in contemporary documentary cinema. To do so, the most recent authors on animation documentary are discussed together with film analysis, presenting as main focus the use of animation when defining in sensitive discourses the very nature of the cinematographic image.
