Olivier Bonin 2009: 90 min. | US
Here in the Bay Area, it's hard to remember that Burning Man is supposed to be a counter-cultural event. Bonin starts at the beginning with fantastic original and unseen footage of '70s and '80s Cacophony Society events and of the early years at Baker Beach and the Black Rock Desert. Dust & Illusions takes a lovingly critical look at Burning Man with interviews with John Law, Larry Harvey, The Flaming Lotus Girls, Chicken John, Pepe Ozan, and many more influential collaborators and artists. From the philosophies that fueled its creation to the present-day challenges of producing the largest 'counter-cultural' event in North America, Dust and Illusions argues that the true meaning of the festival is still up for grabs.
