AB “Who are JACHALAY? Who could refer to and discuss about theJachalay with certainty? Probably no one. They have been there, just over thecenturies. We could only estimate and guess, since there is no communicationat all”.“Jachalay” film (2012), is the thesis film of students Manos Gerogiannis andGiannis Zoumakis for the Graphic Design department of TEI of Athens.The film’s main idea is: Can somebody narrate the most blatant lies in a be-lievable way?Francis Vanoye’s believed that in the development of narrative in literatureand cinema, the signifier is developed in the form of expressive material andexpressive form, while the signified in the conceptual material and conceptualthe form.So the following question appears: Which expressive form will be used inthe signifier, to make the signified as much as possible believable?At the same time the informative animation is the main instrument to visualizecomplex information, fast and clear, because the dramatic elements used in in-form animation, aim to explain and inform. Inform animation uses infographics in motion that means moving optical information representations ofelements and knowledge; aiming at the fast, clear and direct communication.This communication uses visualized symbols and the viewer decodes them au-tomatic.In this context, we analyze the particular film by using it as a case study of howone could narrate the most absurd lies in the most believable way using in-fographics and animation languageMainly, through this case study, we deal with the following questions:• When we use fake information or plausibility half-truths, it is possible thisaudiovisual material to contain propaganda?• How easy is through the artificial image, which is so easily created today, tobecome the recipients of misinformation?
