About the film: Dust & Illusions looks at 30 years of history of Burning Man all the way back to the late 1970s deep into the origins of the event. Through 21 interviewees the film presents the philosophies that fueled the creation of the festival, and its evolution from a small gathering of friends to the largest “counter-cultural” event in North America. It offers a new perspective of the meaning of the event, and questions whether its organizers are more concerned about making sure the show is ready when the gate opens or if they still truly engage in building a community and fostering art (Check their budget outline).
Sorry I will miss it. This is happening on the weekend of the Oregon Country Fair (the next best thing to burning man for many of us in Seattle)…Sigh…
Let me know how to catch it some other way.
Thanks for doing this!
Cheers!
