Animated Short 'Glove' Tells Story of a Lost Space Glove

The animated short film 'Glove,' directed by Alexa Lim Haas and Bernardo Britto, explores the journey of a glove lost in space by an astronaut during an interstellar mission. Produced in 2016 but recently released online, the film follows the glove as it floats through the cosmos, reflecting on its own history and that of humanity. The story is inspired by a real event in 1965 when astronaut Edward White lost a glove during the Gemini 4 mission; the glove orbited Earth for months before disintegrating in the atmosphere. Alexa Lim Haas is a multidisciplinary artist and director from New York, while Bernardo Britto is a writer and director from Rio de Janeiro. They met at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University and previously collaborated on short films 'Agua Viva' and 'Yearbook.' 'Glove' is their first co-directed work and has been awarded at several international film festivals.
