"Anningaaq", the seven minute Gravity companion

I reviewed a trailer for Gravity earlier this year.  Several trailers were released for the film prior to its massively successful run in theatres, and they were all really well done, so it should come as no surprise that a seven minute short film has come out as a companion to the movie.

The short film is called Anningaaq.  In it we (MINOR SPOILERS FOR GRAVITY) are shown the other half of the conversation that Dr. Ryan Stone has when she's alone in the Chinese spaceship.

You can find the info and the film itself at this link.

The short film itself is done beautifully, and the juxtaposition of the lonely man in the arctic with the woman fighting for her life by herself up above him is just wonderful, and haunting.

If you haven't already seen Gravity I'd recommend checking it out as soon as possible.  And if you've already had a chance to catch it, give this short film a look when you've got seven minutes to kill.
