Dust & Illusions is a 2009 documentary film about Burning Man and its founders. The film has been featured at several film festivals, and will be shown at the San Francisco DocFest at The Roxie in San Francisco in October 2009.

From the 1970s into the origins of the Burning Man festival, until today, the documentary film Dust & Illusions explores the evolution of the now largest counter-cultural event in North America. Using never before seen archival footage and interviews, director Olivier Bonin brings a critical perspective about Burning Man and reveals past memories of a few that have influenced the festival in powerful ways.

Dust & Illusions looks at 30 years of Burning Man history back to the late 1970s. Through interviews with 21 people, including co-founder Larry Harvey, the film details the philosophies that fueled the creation of the festival, and its evolution from a small gathering of friends to the huge event it is today. The film offers a new perspective on the event's meaning, and questions whether its organizers are more concerned about making sure the show is ready when the gate opens or they still truly engage in building a community and fostering art.
