ALI B AT AFRIKA BURN 2011

This is the second film I have made about my adventures at Afrika Burn, the official African outpost of Burning Man, the art and music event based on radical self expression and self reliance. 2011 was an awesome year with lots of amazing art and music and I got to hang out with some truly great, great people. I pretty much had a 40 hour week of DJing, playing for around 5/6 hours a night which for anyone that knows me, will appreciate is my idea of heaven. Big thanks again to the VuVu Lounge whose mobile sound system once again owned Tankwa Town alongside The Succulents and The Led Headz. This film was shot on my trusty iPhone and edited on my laptop and features aerial footage of Afrika Burn which was filmed from a short ride in a very small plane, giving a great sense of scale. I can’t wait for Afrika Burn 2012 which takes place from 25th – 30th April. You can check out the piece I wrote for the Guardian Newspaper here.
