Well Wishes My Love, Your Love
Newly orphaned and freshly wounded from an immense loss, a boy lends his companion a prosthetic arm for the day. The companion would then expose the prosthetic limb to a mélange of textures and materials, whilst documenting the whole process. As the moon inches closer and closer towards the sun, the boy sees something unusual reflected on the water’s surface… What will become of the limb, and what will become of the video recordings?
A slow and meditative film about everyday gestures of love, communicated through our universal understanding of body language. From the movement of sinking sand particles in a pulsing current – down to the swaying of each blade of grass rolling into one another in a gush of wind, every element is individually animated to draw attention to the animism behind the everyday and its position in our daily lives, no matter how seemingly insignificant they might appear to be.

Director
Gabriel Gabriel Garble is a Malaysian animation filmmaker based in Stockholm who expresses the inseparability of the human and nonhuman through their work. Using a combination of 2D and 3D techniques, Gabriel’s animations depart from the absurdist capabilities of the animation medium and laser in instead on the beauty behind the subtler ‘unseen’ movements of the everyday.
Characterized by pensive pacing no stranger to those within the slow cinema sphere, Gabriel’s films invite the viewer to dive into a dreamlike state of contemplation and live alongside the animism within each frame.
