| Sumario: | Josep (Aurel, 2020) is an animated film about Josep Bartolí, a Catalan artist and ex-combatant of the Spanish Civil War who, through his sketchbooks, left a testimony of the difficult daily life at the French concentration camps where almost half a million Republican refugees were confined. Not strictly a documentary, but a film about the real, Josep examines a shameful episode from the 20th century: the indifference of European democratic countries towards the rise of fascism in the 1930s, which would not prevent the Second World War. This article will analyze Josep from the point of view of the narrative, presenting the story of a collective drama that regains force in the present moment, where the lack of solutions to the great exoduses persists; as well as from the visual and animated point of view, taking into account the dialogue that takes place between Aurel's graphics and Bartolí's, and which is constituted in an artistic animation film thanks to the new digital drawing tools. |
