I will probably go to the second screening here in Eugene, Oregon in order to get a better understanding of it. I felt like I missed a few details. I do believe it made me a little nervous though. I am naturally just worried that my friends, myself, and others take substances for granted and do it just to party instead of using them for the journey. This film I felt touched on that thought a lot. The man who made this, I'm assuming, had lots of different footage and viewpoints to use. He could portray many ideas, but seemed to have shown this one idea a lot. I thought maybe he was saying it just to help us realize that we can take this party any where, and to any height, but we have come to a slight standstill. Say's the one woman in the film and one of the flaming lotus women. I am only a 2 year Burner, working on my 3rd, and have seen a little bit of this, but not much. I was thinking that maybe he showed it to us this way to grab the attention of those few stragglers out there that haven't quite figured it out yet. The one's doing shady things and getting high just for the party(greatest party on the planet that is) to help us tighten up our ship. Ship shape! But what's inside that possible stand still is amazing! The pure connection that I have experienced there, shows nothing of this worrisome thought. We are very much alive there. Connecting to other individuals. Loving. Gifting. It seems like the people that were there from the roots on have lost that connection, in my opinion from the footage I saw. But this isn't their party any more. It's ours. We can do anything that we wish with it. It's not them that tells someone to bring this art piece or that. It's us. We make it happen! We participate. Were the movers and the shakers. So I guess when it all comes down to it, I'm a Burner for life! Nothing can mimic this spectacular place. We can only hope to take those experiences to the world and show them what is possible. If I could marry Burning Man, I would! I do have this one question: Is Larry and the other people interviewed, that seemed so uninthusiastic, still the main organizers? If so, I think their jobs should be passed onto others that do still have the flaming fire that is Burning Man deep down inside. Thank you so, so, much for sharing your art with us. I know that many thoughts were provoked with the showing of this film. )'( We are everywhere )'( I thought this film was great.

I thought that it was presented well. For the past decade, I had procrastinated going, but after watching this film, I am definitely attending this year!

There is excellent footage of the beginnings of this event. Recommended viewing for anyone going to the festival or anyone curious.

It was a pretty interesting doco from my perspective. It seems quite balanced. Some great footage of the old burns and looks like he's done a great job with the research. I thought it was a really interesting look at the progressive development from a group of friends hanging out to a full-blown massive festival. Well done.

Not reluctant about the film or the focus, but reluctant because of my general disillusion with the whole cult process of the festival. The history has been re-written and sanitized so many times any film like this will have the neo-created memories of the individuals in charge rather than any true history. I was more than pleasantly surprised. Sure there are a few misstatements, and a whole lot of "current-day-spin-speak" from the self appointed gurus of the cult. Everyone happily buys that the original man was NOT Larry's friends burning away his ex-in-effigy after she left him with his child (Can't lose half your audience and ticket sales and make it a sausage fest). But the spin was minimal. What was not minimal was the drawing and connection to such things as Desert Site Works, The Suicide Club, and a real opening up of the visions of so many artists, trustifarians, musician and pranksters that brought this festival to life. It is well worth a watch, no matter what your level of participation, or your diefied belief in the cult. My first year was 1991. I came to the event as a researcher from UC Davis on an anthropology project. Been there, blew that up. Watched the festival grow, was an insider, watched the current board claim they invented everything since two hydrogens and an oxygen made water. I can see why many in the org don't like it as it cuts into their omnipotence claims, but you don't have to see it that way. Its just a good film, period. I think this film is like democracy, it may not be perfect, but its the best thing on the BM Cult I've seen so far. Bwana I went, reluctantly, to see this film.
