Institute History
Description
The Oldest Person in the World is an innovative documentary project by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Sam Green. The film weaves together portraits of the people around the world who hold the Guinness Record for being the oldest person alive, a record that says a great deal about who we are: about fate, about mortality, and about the knowledge and experiences that will be lost forever as time passes and the world moves inexorably forward. This is not a documentary about a timely issue, but a timeless film about the passage of time.

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.
