Gabriel Abrantes - Reality is just another fiction

Gabriel Abrantes made twenty short films in ten years and we've seen his work screened at the Berlinale Shorts a couple of times without ever talking to him. This finally changed when he returned to Berlin with a comedic drama about a flying robot.

"I'm a big believer in the power of chance and chaos - especially during film shoots." - The emphasis added to the end of this sentence isn't really necessary, though, for Gabriel sees the whole world as a hyper realistic stage. To face its complex problems for him there's no better way than poetry, humor and everything else art got at its disposal.
