Longevity

2026, Documentary, 90 min

Directors: Anastasia Shubina, Timofey Glinin

In the heart of Silicon Valley, a revolution is underway—scientists, entrepreneurs, and biohackers are racing to conquer aging and radically extend human life. Inspired by groundbreaking research that has multiplied the lifespans of model organisms, a growing movement is turning experimental science into real-world interventions. From genome editing and organ cultivation to head transplants and young blood transfusions, the film offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes of the longevity industry.

We follow a cast of scientists, startup founders, and self-experimenters who are not only reimagining the human body, but also challenging deeply held ideas about mortality, identity, and purpose. They study animals that barely age—like naked mole rats, jellyfish, and whales—seeking the biological keys to longevity. At the same time, a new cultural wave of celebrities and influencers promotes anti-aging as lifestyle, raising urgent questions about access, ethics, and societal impact.

Directed by a biologist embedded within the community, the film explores both the scientific frontier and the philosophical implications of life without aging. If extending lifespan alters behavior in animals, could it also transform human society? Longevity invites viewers to imagine a future in which death is no longer inevitable—and asks what it means to truly live when time may no longer run out.
