AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN GOES ‘BEYOND BLACK ROCK’

BEYOND BLACK ROCK got some love from the local paper this week, when Austin American-Statesman Film Writer Chris Garcia unleashed a 1,500-word exploration of the film, its origins and its message entitled “Shining a Light on ‘Burning Man’”.

Among his observations:

“…"Beyond Black Rock" is a movie of vision, and visions. While it is the first movie to show the backstage workings of the Burning Man organization as it mounts the weeklong colossus on a vast playa in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, it pops with the kaleidoscopic energy that whirls through the mega-event. Here a blur of half-naked bodies gambol in an endless desert night squiggled with light; there astonished people touch and play with interactive art installations in plumes of sun-streaked dust.”
