Come to WIRED@NIGHT02 Film Screening!

For the second WIRED@NIGHT event, WIRED presents a special screening of The Oldest Person in the World, a documentary that won’t be in theaters until September. Appropriately, the venue is Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.

The Oldest Person in the World, directed by Oscar nominee Sam Green, is a decade-long global journey chronicling the ever-changing list of record holders for the title of oldest person alive. What begins as a portrait of longevity becomes a meditation on the passage of time, the randomness of fate, and the joy and profound human experience of being alive.

After the film, Green will be joined by features director Reyhan Harmanci to talk about a very WIRED topic—longevity. What we can learn from these “super agers,” and why people are so obsessed with the quest for a long life. Are we here for a good time, or a long time?
