- DirectorSteve BrownJessie DeeterStarsHarley K. DuboisMarian GoodellLarry HarveyEach year, 60,000 people from around the globe gather in a dusty windswept Nevada desert to build a temporary city, collaborating on large-scale art and partying for a week before burning a giant effigy in a ritual frenzy. Rooted in principles of self-expression, self-reliance and community effort, Burning Man has grown famous for stirring ordinary people to shed their nine-to-five existence and act on their dreams. Spark takes us behind the curtain with Burning Man organizers and participants, revealing a year of unprecedented challenges and growth. When ideals of a new world based on freedom and inclusion collide with realities of the "default world," we wonder which dreams can survive.

- DirectorJoe WinstonStarsJengis AlparLarry HarveyAnton KastJoe Winston's award-winning account of America's largest countercultural event.
- DirectorJon AllowayStarsRick AbruzzoForrest J. AckermanLance AlexanderThe story of the Cacophony Society. This documentary follows their evolution from the San Francisco Suicide Club of 1977, the exploits of SF Cacophony, their nexus creating the Burning Man Festival, to the irreverent Los Angeles Cacophony and beyond. This is the history of the most significant American underground cultural movement of our time. 'The Cacophony Society is, 'a randomly gathered network of free spirits engaged in the pursuit of experiences beyond the mainstream.' The credo is 'You May Already be a Member!' It's a non-religious, non-political, non-commercial disorganization of Dada klowns rewiring the neuro-circuits of humanity. The heart of Cacophony is deeply rooted in kitsch, weird, and nihilism.. It's subversion by way of absurdist pranks and fire.

- DirectorAlex NoheStarsNate FollLarry Harvey"The Burning Sensation" will scorch your senses as it takes you into the heart of the Burning Man experience. In 2001 some 20,000+ souls made a pilgrimage to the Black Rock Desert to practice radical self-expression and self-reliance in a temporary, commerce-free community. At the end a 50-foot high, neon-lit, wooden effigy is burned, igniting a wild, tribal, all-night celebration. The world's largest venue for public art, Burning Man has elements of a Vegas acid trip, a nudist colony, a pyrotechnic convention, the Rose Bowl parade, a rave, the Museum of Modern Art, and a Mad Max movie dispersed over the 107 degree desert. The film captures intense footage of several art events as well as interviews with Burning Man organizers Larry Harvey (also co-founder), Crimson Rose and Will Roger who explain how, what started in 1986 as an impromptu Summer Solstice celebration, put on by a few friends at a beach in San Francisco, has turned into a full-blown exercise in city planning and management with a hefty price-tag. This temporary city is the 6th largest in Nevada. Some of the featured art events include "Burial In Space" by Woodpussy (a group of musicians and pyro-technicians who blast their deceased founder into space in a rocket of their own creation); "Nebulous Entity" and "Futura Deluxe" (two large, roving installation pieces engineered using mathematics derived from fields of neural networks, ecological systems and fractals); and a performance artist Dea Million who stages her "wedding" to America.
- 20011h 5mUnrated6.6 (7)DirectorSusan BarronStarsLarry HarveyFlynn MautheWill RogerSusan Barron's "Working for the Man" starts off with not the typical "bang" and screaming techno of other documentaries, but an interview with event co-founder Larry Harvey, who, along with Jerry James, Michael Mikel and John Law put their blood, sweat and tears into the creation of a small, personal event that has since attracted 30,000 people or more to the Black Rock Desert to take part in the annual Burning Man Project Festival. Throughout the film, which begins with a simple, eloquent story and progresses through meetings, the building of Black Rock City and finally the burning and clean-up of the event site, Susan allowed the story of the organization of the event to unfold.
