Burning Man MCMXCVII (1997)

Burning Man MCMXCVII, 1997 (82 mins)
By Chuck Cirino

Skillful edited and paired with great score to capture the excitement and chaos of Burning Man 1997. The video features a 5-minute preface of the history from early Baker Beach and Black Rock burns, narration by Larry Harvey. It also follows the colorful and controversial issues with local authorities, and circus of video cameras.

The history of Burning Man is captured, including bits of the historical "Save the Man" speech and the first glowing appearance of EL wire costumes on the playa. This film contains nudity, and is highly Recommended!
