Sam Green

American documentary filmmaker (b. 1966), pioneer of the "live documentary" form.

Sam Green is an Academy Award-nominated American documentary filmmaker, best known for The Weather Underground (2002). In later work he developed the "live documentary" — a performance in which he narrates on stage in real time while musicians play a live score to accompanying film, so that each screening is a unique event rather than a fixed recording.

Relationship to Fuller

Relationship: chronicler. Green created The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller, a live documentary on the life and work of R. Buckminster Fuller, performed with a live musical accompaniment. As a chronicler he presents Fuller's ideas, inventions, and comprehensive-design outlook to contemporary audiences through the immediacy of live narration and music, keeping Fuller's legacy in circulation for a new generation.
