Aningaaq

Just when I thought the love I have for Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity couldn't get any greater I saw this..

Aningaaq

This is a short film made by Alfonso's son Jonas Cuaron who co-wrote the screenplay for Gravity. It shows the other side of the conversation Sandra Bullock's Ryan Stone has with an Inuit fisherman in Greenland when she's trapped in a Russian space capsule, giving her a brief glimmer of hope that someone on earth is listening.

The short stands up on it's own but has a much more profound effect if you have seen Gravity first. It adds another layer of complexity to what is already an incredibly detailed piece of work.
