L.A. LEAGUE OF ARTS BURNING MAN FILM SERIES
Co-Presented with The Los Angeles League of Arts

Born from the San Francisco underground scene in the 1980s, the Burning Man festival, situated in Nevada’s barren Black Rock Desert, has been a counter-cultural landmark in the United States for almost 30 years. Originally conceived as a participant-governed, anti-establishment experiment in community and self-reliance, the festival has managed to uphold some of its original ideals, despite its metamorphosis into a multimillion dollar industry.

Join us for the L.A. League of Arts (LALA) Burning Man Film Series, screening one Sunday a month, featuring works that shed light on the week long festival, including BURN ON THE BAYOU, BEYOND BLACK ROCK, JOURNEY TO THE FLAMES, THE TEMPLE BUILDER and VOYAGE IN UTOPIA.

Hey, I have an extra ticket I can gift you. If you can make it let me know and we can meet up for cocktails before or get a bite to eat, whatever.

We screened it in Detroit, it was most awesome. Interesting part was that on the playa later that summer, ran across one of the principal's in the movie. Had an interesting conversation.
Excuse me Ma'am, your going to feel a small prick.
