Watch the ‘Gravity’ spin-off short ‘Aningaaq’

Alfonso Cuarón, son and Gravity co-writer Jonás has directed a short companion piece to their epic sci-fi blockbuster.

Titled Aningaaq, it concerns an Inuit man (Orto Ignatiussen) who [mild spoiler alert for Gravity] receives a distress call from an American astronaut.

Warner Bros are submitting Aningaaq for Oscar consideration in the Live Action Short Film category: one of the few contests that inevitable Academy Award-scooper Gravity won’t be eligible.
