We are pleased to share that Gabriel Abrantes’ Arguments in Favor of Love premieres in the U.S. at the 63rd New York Film Festival, October 6th at 6PM.
Included in the Spotlight Shorts program, Abrantes’ short film draws the dying stages of a relationship with bracing candor and concision. Though dressed as ghostly sheets, Arguments’ players are all too human—their fights comprise petty accusations, rage-filled confessions, and a sorrowful departure, punctuated by heartfelt musical interludes—while the film’s animation registers every emotion in a spare, painterly set of expressions.
