Trailer for the documentary Burning Man: Voyage in Utopia.
Every summer 50,000 people migrate to Black Rock City in Nevada. Before they arrive there is nothing at Black Rock—it's a dried out flat lake bottom. After they go there is nothing at Black Rock. But for a brief yearly moment, the site blooms into the seventh largest city in Nevada and the occasion of a civilized, orgiastic, paganistic, goofy-playful temporary community. It is the largest interactive art show and the grandest expression of anything-goes heaven-on-earth utopia that our species has ever conceived. Or maybe it's just a big party where everybody sleeps over and cleans up the place afterwards. You decide.
