The Film Festival will feature four films made by members of the Burning Man community. These films will show the experience of living and playing at Burning Man, the art, the costumes, and the fun. But the festival will also share how Burners take their shared values home with them to help others in need.

Films for the festival will be shown in two separate series:

5:30 - 6:30 Acoustic Booze will be playing in the lobby.

SERIES A: February 20, 5:30 PM – 8:20 PM, Films start at 6:30 PM

One Minute to Burn

The festival will open with "One Minute to Burn" (2001) by Paul Andresen & Mo Stoebe, a series of moving snapshots showing the fun and chaos of Black Rock City. This short is by far the most psychedelic film in the festival. "One Minute to Burn" is made of up of several one minute scenes that reflect the diversity of experiences that Burning Man can offer.

Burn on the Bayou

"One Minute to Burn" will be paired with "Burn on the Bayou" (2008) by Matt Leonard, which tells the story of a group of Burners who leave Burning Man to help repair the devastation caused by hurricane Katrina. As unexpected as the hurricane season of 2005 was for the Gulf Coast, the reaction of members of the Burning Man Community was even more so. This film documents how the values that Burners have developed at the Burning Man event were brought to those in need in the disaster zone.
