  8. WhoMadeWho live at Mayan Warrior, Burning Man, 2019. Welcome to our 2019 sunset live performance at Mayan Warrior. Check our website for upcoming dates, news and music: http://www.whomadewhoband.com Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/2QNNtlm Back in 2018, we came to Burning Man for the first time and we were instantly captivated by the endless and wild impressions of the desert, the art, the music, and above all: the people. It was the same year that, due to a lucky coincidence, we were invited to play a late-night set at Mayan Warrior. Within moments, we fell in love with the art-car and all people surrounding it. We had a kind of musical epiphany there. So when we were formally invited to come back this year, playing a Thursday sunset concert, we didn't even have to think for a second. We were all hyped like crazy while at the same time feeling very humble about it. Visiting and playing at Burning Man, especially at this esteemed art-car, is something that really stood out in our lives so far. We will cherish this memory forever. It was second time we played our hybrid live-set, but definitely not the last.

  10. Dreaming of Home: the year Black Rock City did not rise. Made in the summer of 2020 after Black Rock City was called off, this edit gathers playa footage from earlier burns as a stand-in for the gathering that did not happen. The filmmaker frames it explicitly as something to hold onto in a year without a burn, and it stands as a record of how the community marked the cancellation.

  12. Burning Man :: The 10 Principles. Enjoy this beautiful video about the 10 Principles of Burning Man from Camp Fresh Squeezed! Burning Man co-founder Larry Harvey wrote the 10 Principles in 2004 as guidelines for the newly-formed Regional Network. They were crafted not as a dictate of how people should be and act, but as a reflection of the community’s ethos and culture as it had organically developed since the event’s inception. Radical Inclusion Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community. Gifting Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift-giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value. Decommodification In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience. Radical Self-reliance Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on their inner resources. Radical Self-expression Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient. Communal Effort Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction. Civic Responsibility We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws. Leaving No Trace Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them. Participation Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart. Immediacy Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience. https://donate.burningman.org/ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://burningman.org/youtube-subscribe Check out our full video archive: http://youtube.com/burningman Visit the Burning Man website: http://burningman.org Read the Burning Man Journal: http://journal.burningman.org Subscribe to the Jackrabbit Speaks newsletter: http://burningman.org/jrs Follow Burning Man Project on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/burningman/ Follow Burning Man Project on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/burningman/

  19. Mirage (Burning Man 2019). The final documentary of the International Wood Culture Society (IWCS) featuring Burning Man series touches on the foundation: the momentary home for 80,000 citizens in the Nevada desert – Black Rock City. The fundamental elements of Black Rock City are a mixture of different groups and communities. “Mirage” unfolds multiple layers of this complex, temporary, ever-evolving desert city. Through this documentary, audiences get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how this center of creativity is designed and built every year from scratch, then vanishes into dust.

  45. Above the Dust: drone flight over Black Rock City, 2022. Aerial footage of Black Rock City shot in 2022 by a participant who applied for and received one of the event's drone permits. Because unauthorised flying is restricted on the playa, permitted aerial passes like this are one of the few ways the full pentagon of the city street grid is recorded from above.
  46. What is Burning Man, from a first-time burner. A first-timer's answer to the question every burner gets asked, filmed during the 2022 event and originally intended only for friends and family before it found a wider audience. Its value to the archive is the unpolished newcomer's perspective: what surprised her, what the city felt like, and how she tried to explain it to people who had never been.
  47. A visitor's account of Burning Man 2022. A long, plain-spoken video diary of the 2022 event, filmed across the full stretch from build week into the burn by a Nevada travel vlogger. It documents the first Black Rock City after the two cancelled pandemic years, with heat, dust and the practical grind of the week given as much room as the art.
  48. Building Empyrean, the 2022 Temple: full time lapse. A time lapse of the 2022 Temple, Empyrean, compressed from the first crew steps on bare playa through construction and opening, across event week, and into the start of clean-up. It shows the whole arc of a Temple's life on the desert floor, including the Leave No Trace work that follows once the structure is gone.

Instead of going on solo expeditions, I found a way to pack it with me everywhere, so I could just enjoy outings with friends and fly when the opportunity presented itself. I learned so much out there, next year’s video is going to be epic.” Jesse Chandler: https://adjectiveentertainment.com/ Music: dvine - Confessions Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2IjqOLK Check out our full video archive: http://youtube.com/burningman Read the Burning Man Journal: http://journal.burningman.org Burning Man on Twitter: http://twitter.com/burningman Burning Man on Facebook: http://fb.com/burningman Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/burningman

  63. 30 years of history of Burning Man!. DUST & ILLUSIONS is available to watch with a donation, so we can pay to get it posted online. Once we have 1,000 subscribers, we'll be able to post it here. Help us spread the word. Thank you community! First 15 minutes from Dust & Illusions, the only movie that looks a the entire history of Burning Man, starting a decade before the event even started. What was the context behind Burning Man. Was it thought out from the beginning as this event that would become world-renowned? Larry Harvey would say he had the idea and from that he was the reason for Burning Man to exist. He created Burning Man after watching Wicker Man. And then people from the San Francisco Suicide Club and the San Francisco Cacophony Society invited the Burning Man sculpture to come to their event on the Black Rock desert. Burning Man isn't what it seems to be. Today it's a massive event, with cool arts whipped by regular giant dust storms in the Black Rock desert. But 30 years ago, it was an underground event put together by renegade artists in the middle of San Francisco. Law enforcement didn't like that, so with the help of the Cacophony Society, they moved it to an unforgiving wind-swept dry lake bed in the Nevada desert. It slowly changed to become the $20+ million event it now is. This film looks at how decadence turned into organized chaos, and how politics might have replaced philosophies. The whole Burning Man story.
  64. Impressions of Burning Man 2023. A short participant edit gathering scenes from a week in Black Rock City in 2023. It is offered as impressions rather than a narrative, and works as a snapshot of how the 2023 city looked to one camp of participants.
  65. Tales of Dreamers: Burning Man 2022. Set in Black Rock City 2022, this latest project from the International Wood Culture Society delves into sustainability initiatives in BRC — from Burning Man Project and from a variety of theme camps, artists, and participant groups. Through a series of interviews, “Tales of Dreamers” tells the story of how sustainability projects are coming to life in diverse and innovative ways, and highlights some of the technology being used to make it all happen.

  69. Burning Man 2023 | The Playa @ 4K. Back in Black Rock City for year number two of Burning Man. I brought the 4K camera out this year and shot everything in slow motion with only my 85mm Sony lens. We arrived early Sunday morning to find an open camping spot around 3:26 & H. The majority of the video was shot on the playa, showcasing art, sculptures, art cars, dust storms, etc. during the sunset and sunrise. Once the rainstorm hit on Friday night, I didn't take my camera out again until Sunday, which means I missed recording the mud man that was picked up by international news outlets. We left a couple of hours before noon on Monday, which means we missed this year's man burning. Favorite art this year was either Elder Mother by Charles Gadeken or the temple(temple of the heart) by Ela Madej & Reed Finlay.

Cinematographer Nacho Rambla's clips of the 2025 Temple of the Deep, cut together with no narrative line by the Temple documentarian who had originally used only seconds of the material.

  35. DUST - A Cinematic Homage - Burning Man 2024. DUST, an independently produced art film by unisono films, is a cinematic homage and gift to the Burning Man community. The filmmaking couple, Ayni and Severin Koller, have been breathing dust together since they met in Black Rock City in 2017, in deep playa. Their 37-minute film artistically weaves the 10 Principles into an immersive journey, from documenting the intense process of the build to the last glowing embers of the burning Temple, while honoring the Black Rock Desert as a sacred site, reminding us of the most important principle of sustainability – to Leave no Trace. In 2024, MAXA welcomed the couple into their Mexican community, supporting their vision as artists in bringing DUST to life. This visual poetry is now ready to meet the eyes of the world — best viewed on the big screen. If you haven’t felt the gravitational pull of Black Rock City yet… You will most definitely after watching DUST.

  48. The Reality Of Burning Man. A lot of people think Burning Man is just a massive party in the desert or some utopian social experiment, but it’s so much more than that. I hope this video offers a little bit of a different perspective on Burning Man and what Black Rock City is all about, beyond the partying, the tough conditions, and the way the media covers it all. This year, I followed the story of one art piece on the playa created by Eli Rogers, the man who locked himself in a jail cell for the week. In this video, we get to hear from Eli about why he chose to do this, and we witness the moment he was freed from jail, after the man burned.
