Amazingly, this one is nudity free, or at least seemed so during a careful 9 minute and 53 minute examination that I repeated just to be careful, so I should be able to link to it. Again, we see the sculptural effects on the fire that consumes one of the temporary structures destroyed at the end of Burning Man, but we also see a little of the personal relationship some of the participants have with the event. I think that they might later regret destroying momentos of those they've lost, but at the time, they seem to view this as being a healing act. Why that would be, we're left to guess.

Film segment that helps to explain what the point of burning can be - take a look at the imagery of the temple girders silouhetted against the flames. Fire as an artistic medium. I prefer to watch this with the sound off, feeling that in this excerpt, as viewed in isolation from the rest of the film, the music doesn't add anything.
