Documentaries About Burning Man

For 40 years, Burning Man has inspired filmmakers, journalists, artists, and participants to document Black Rock City and the connective cultural movement that has emerged around the world. Through documentary storytelling, people share stories of community, art, experimentation, awe, and resilience that emerge through participation in Burning Man.

The films featured here represent a range of voices, perspectives, and approaches, and their production upheld Burning Man’s media principles. Each of these works, and the many other documentaries about Black Rock City and the cultural movement, contributes to a broader understanding of Burning Man and its global impact.
