Sumario:Author independent animation is an open window to a multiform space of technical, thematic and stylistic explorations. With condensed narratives under a short film format, the practice of animation allows dialogues and tensions to be framed between the materials used, conventions about the “know-how” and ruptures with predominant statements in other artistic expressions. The richness of the images that are part of this corpus, invites us to look at the use of the various materials that build the universes of each short film. In this article we will review the construction of the staging and the expressive function of materialities as an expressive object within four independent Latin American stop motion short films: Padre (Grasso, 2013, Argentina), Bestia (Covarrubias, 2021, Chile), Guaxuma (Normande, 2018, Brazil) and Meat (Kater, 2019, Brazil). Although the two Brazilian short films present a mixture of techniques, the emphasis will be placed on the stop motion animation present in the four case studies.
