Behind the Scenes: The Man Will Burn: Marian Goodell & Jehane Noujaim

Watch it on YouTube. No spoilers. This is the making of the docuseries The Man Will Burn. This is the context for what was filmed, who said what, and what got cut; the cameras and the chaos (and the quinoa). Burning Man Project’s CEO Marian Goodell talks with Jehane Noujaim Academy Award-nominated filmmaker and director. They share the creative challenge of assembling Burning Man’s story from a mosaic of a million people’s stories. They dive right into the interweaving 35 years of archival footage with the personal journeys of a dozen participants from a dozen places. Watch Marian and Jehane’s conversation, recorded at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, where the series debuted. Hit play on the dust and trust of the blank canvas that becomes a city year after year, and a 4-hour film about its start, its false stops, and its proliferating permutations. burningman.org/documentaries/the-man-will-burn www.imdb.com/title/tt29033873 wikipedia.org/Jehane_Noujaim journal.burningman.org/author/marian LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG
