Short Film Spotlight: Glove

The true story of a glove that’s been floating in space forever since 1968.

Directors Bernardo Britto and Alexa Lim Haas were inspired to make this short film by the archival NASA documentary For All Mankind. Fascinated by a brief shot of an astronaut’s glove drifting off into the expanse of space, Britto wrote the original screenplay, Haas developed the hand painted visual style, and they directed the film together (Fuster, 2016, ShortList 2016: ‘Glove’ Turns Space Accident Into Cosmic Cartoon).Gloveplayed during the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, and coincidentally For All Mankind played at the 1989 festival, where it won both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award in the documentary competition.
