NO SUPPORT - RENE CASTILLO & ANTONIO URRUTIA (1998)

This stop-motion animation by Mexican duo René Castillo and Antonio Urrutia was nominated for a Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1998. No Support (Sin Sostén) sees a suicidal man climb onto the rooftop between two billboards - one with a busty pin-up advertising a bra (the title is a play on words!) and the other with a mounted cowboy. When the time comes to jump, the huge advertisements come to life. Castillo and Urrutia did not work together again, but Castillo made feature animation Thingdom in 2016.
