BURNING MAN: BEYOND BLACK ROCK International Documentary Competition

The man stands atop his temple, looking down upon the makeshift city built just for him in a dry lakebed in Nevada. He will burn in six days. If you’ve never been to Burning Man, this should serve as the layman’s Cliff Notes.

Following a handful of artists as they prepare for the annual pilgrimage, BURNING MAN: BEYOND BLACK ROCK chronicles the trials and tribulations of outdoing yourself artistically year to year to return to the community that celebrates expression and champions your right to do so. An experimental self-sufficient village of art installations, theme camps and a milder, more hippie version of sex, drugs and rock-n-roll, Burning Man defies description-it must be experienced.

With stunning footage and extraordinary artists, BURNING MAN: BEYOND BLACK ROCK captures the spirit, the unrivaled camaraderie and the amazing talent that makes you wont to pack your bogs and stand in line for next year.
