Film Friday – The Town That Exists For A Week (Andrew)

Not quite a sporting video this week but one that features a town where everyone cycles rather than drives – and it only exists for one week a year.

This is the town of Black Rock City. If you don’t know Black Rock City it’s a town that exists for just a week each year as an entire community is built for the Burning Man festival. And we’re not just talking about a collection of tents, like at Glastonbury or any other UK festival. This is a proper town with shops, roads, bars and massive sky high works of art.

As the video explains the town is so big that the only way to get around is to use your bike, all of which are modified and decorated like a Mad Max extra.

I don’t know when Burning Man will go ahead again but, if it does, this video provides a fascinating look at the town Burning Man built.
