Institute History
Description
In 1986, Adolfo Chaves was a child who loved to play in the backyard of his house in rural Costa Rica, where he could see the clouds travelling in the sky. One windy day, he watched on television how the first Costa Rican astronaut was going into space. With those images in his memory, Adolfo is now one of the members of the first space mission formed only by Latin Americans. He is beginning a 15-month training that may see him fulfill his greatest dream: to travel to outer space… for only 15 minutes.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. 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.
