Institute History
Description
Citizen Kane will always rank as one of America’s greatest films, a boastful work that announces its brilliance in every shot. Its plot is simple enough: a reporter attempting to discover the meaning of a dying newspaper tycoon’s final words. Yet the structure of Citizen Kane makes it such an absorbing experience, a delightful maze of flashbacks, overlapping and sometimes conflicting memories. Welles is magnificent in all of his roles—director, star, producer and, though still contested, screenwriter.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
