Red, fuzzy Muppet Elmo is an international icon. Yet few people know his creator, Kevin Clash. Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg, Being Elmo tells the story of how a precocious talent who dreamed of working with master puppeteer Jim Henson found a home on Sesame Street. The documentary includes rare archival footage, interviews with Frank Oz, Rosie O’Donnell, Cheryl Henson, Joan Ganz Cooney and others and offers a behind-the-scenes look at Sesame Street and the Jim Henson Workshop. Winner: Special Jury Prize, Sundance Film Festival
