What is Voyage in Utopia about?

VOYAGE IN UTOPIA, 2007, 83 min. Dir. Laurent Le Gall. Every year, tens of thousands of participants migrate to the Black Rock desert in Nevada to celebrate Burning Man. Facing extreme heat, lack of shade, desert storms and no shops, everybody must survive by bringing their own food and their good spirit. These “burners” mix urban culture with improvised tribalism. With a strong emphasis on founder Larry Harvey and temple artist David Best, this chronicle of Burning Man 2002 expresses the scale and power of the Burning Man experience through superb cinematography and editing. “VOYAGE IN UTOPIA is a remarkable piece of storytelling. It does what our event is said to do: It evokes the inexpressible, it invites imagination to inhabit the unknown." - Larry Harvey. Our final Burning Man screening of the year. Discussion following with filmmaker Laurent Le Gall. Starting at 1:00 PM in the Egyptian courtyard, join us for interactive activities and art installations.
