    Kenneth Anger: Where The Bodies Are Buried - Esquire 10-01-14 10:49 Kenneth Anger: Where The Bodies Are Buried - Esquire Photo by Brian Butler On a recent warm afternoon in Los Angeles, Kenneth Anger was taking a walk in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Anger, 86, is the US’s most celebrated underground film-maker, named as a major influence by directors as disparate as Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and John Waters. He is also the elemental spirit whose life draws a connecting line between some of the most intriguing figures of 20th century arts and Bohemia: the occultist Aleister Crowley, Jean Cocteau, the sexologist Alfred Kinsey, Anaïs Nin, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. Anger has always liked visiting cemeteries. “They’re peaceful,” he says. “They’d better be...” And Hollywood Forever, formerly the Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery, has a personal significance. It is the resting place of a number of famous Hollywood stars and stands behind the original Paramount lot; in fact, the studios were built on a part of the old cemetery. Anger is an authority on old Hollywood. He is the author of two volumes of Hollywood Babylon, http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/features/5483/kenneth-anger/ Page 1 of 19 Kenneth Anger: Where The Bodies Are Buried - Esquire 10-01-14 10:49 the classic account of Tinseltown’s most infamous scandals, from the silent era up to the Fifties. A number of the cast are buried here. Rudolph Valentino, whom Anger considers the quintessential Hollywood star (“he had a short, tragic life [dead at 31] and left a big legend”) is interred in a crypt in the Cathedral Mausoleum.

  • Lucifer Over Luxor: Archaeology, Egyptology, and Occultism in Kenneth Anger’S Magick Lantern Cycle
    Doyle White, E 2016 Lucifer Over Luxor: Archaeology, Egyptology, and Occultism in Kenneth Anger’s Magick Lantern Cycle. Present Pasts, 7(1): 2, pp. 1–10, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/pp.73 RESEARCH PAPER Lucifer Over Luxor: Archaeology, Egyptology, and Occultism in Kenneth Anger’s Magick Lantern Cycle Ethan Doyle White* One of the great figureheads of American experimental cinema, Kenneth Anger (b.1927), is internationally renowned for his pioneering work, recognisable for its blend of homoerotica, popular and classical music, and dark, symbolist imagery. A follower of Thelema, the religion of infamous British occultist Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), Anger’s work is imbued with occult themes and undercurrents rarely comprehen- sible to the non-initiated viewer. In exploring these esoteric ideas, Anger makes use of archaeology and heritage in his short filmsEaux d’Artifice (1953) and Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954–66), as well as in the lost films The Love That Whirls (1949) and Thelema Abbey (1955), which utilize such disparate elements as Aztec human sacrifice and putative Renaissance Satanism. However, this theme only reaches its apex in Lucifer Rising (1980), an exploration of Thelemic theology filmed at such sites as Avebury, Luxor, and Karnak, which reflects and propagates the Thelemic view of the past—an ‘alternative archaeology’ rooted in Crowley’s own fascination with Egyptomania. This paper seeks to explore Anger’s use of the past and place it in its proper context of twentieth-century Western esotericism. Kenneth Anger (b.1927) is one of the foremost figures of through the transformation of individual consciousness American experimental cinema, an artist who produced via artistic mediums (Hughes 2011: 12).

    FILM AT REDCAT PRESENTS Sat Oct 12 |6:00 pm| Jack H. Skirball Series $10.00 [members $8.00] Henri-Georges Clouzot and the Aesthetics of the Sixties Reflections on La Vérité France, 1960, 35mm, 127 min. Program curated by Martha Kirszenbaum and Bérénice Reynaud In conversation with the joint exhibitions La Fin de la Nuit at Palais de Tokyo in Paris and The End of the Night at LACE in Los Angeles, this panel discussion on the controversial French auteur Henri-Georges Clouzot and his contribution to the aesthetics of the 1960s centers around a screening of his intriguing film, La Vérité (1960 Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner for Best Foreign Language Film). A showcase for the alluring physical presence of the biggest French star of the time, Brigitte Bardot—who transforms from pouting sex kitten to grand tragedienne—La Vérité is loosely inspired by a notorious “crime of passion” case. With his stern and masterful direction of Bardot, Clouzot creates another unforgettable, yet contradictory, sexual icon for the Swinging Sixties. In person: curators Martha Kirszenbaum and Bérénice Reynaud, film scholar Janet Bergstrom, artist/filmmaker William E. Jones and CalArts Critical Studies faculty Christine Wertheim. 35mm print courtesy of Sony Pictures “In the midst of the ‘New Wave’ explosion, one of the most admirable French directors secured the services of a sex symbol, Brigitte Bardot, to portray a puritanical and hypocritical society, devoid of compassion for the monsters it had begotten. The remarkable precision and ruthless irony of the film allows French cinema’s most famous doll to distinguish herself in a beautiful dramatic performance.” – Critikat “A close look at La Vérité can put into play a frisson every bit as biting as those other works touted for avant-garde stardom.

  • Sprueth Magers
    Icons Kenneth Anger Sprüth Magers London march 23 - april 20 2013 Sprüth Magers London is delighted to present an exhibition of work by the iconic filmmaker and artist Kenneth Anger, in his second solo show at the London gallery. Icons will bring together an archive of photographs, scrapbooks, letters and memorabilia from Anger’s personal collection, offering an insight into the unique vision of an artist widely acclaimed as a pioneering and influential force in avant-garde cinema, whose influence extends through generations of film makers, musicians and artists. Making films continuously since the late 1940s, Kenneth Anger is considered one of the most original filmmakers of American cinema and a countercultural icon. His groundbreaking body of work has had a profound effect on mainstream film directors such as George Lucas and Martin Scorsese, particularly in the application of a cross-cutting editing style and the integral use of pop music. Furthermore, post-war popular visual culture, from queer iconography to MTV, owes a debt to Anger‘s art. In particular, Anger has been cited as a major influence on the aesthetic of music video, with its emphasis on dream sequence and elevated affect, and his own soundtracks have featured collaborations with Mick Jagger and Jimmy Page, amongst others. The archive Icons will be exhibited across two rooms, painted midnight blue and crimson red, to replicate the way in which the collection was on display at Kenneth Anger’s home in Los Angeles. An occupation with Hollywood began as a child when Anger would visit film sets with his costume designer grandmother.

  • Kenneth Anger : Morgan Fisher PR Pages
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Kenneth Anger / Morgan Fisher May 17 through June 23, 2019 | Reception & Performance: June 6, 7 to 9pm / 687 Minna Street, San Francisco CA 94103 | Open Wed through Sun, 11am - 6pm www.slashart.org [email protected] Laurence Rickels in The Case of California tells us that music is the ghost noise of identification, a haunting melody that replaces projection with mental images and associations recomposed as impressions. “Only the listener capable of self-concentration tunes in on the composers original wavelength.” Projection, and the projector, have their own associations with haunting, as the technology developed alongside the re-emergence of the esoteric and the magickal at the turn of the 20th Century. These two movements often find themselves entwined, and this is certainly the case here: music and magick both find their proper place in the projections of Kenneth Anger and Morgan Fisher. Kenneth Anger’s legendary film Invocation of My Demon Brother was largely assembled with out-takes from his first version of Lucifer Rising combined with new footage shot in 1969 at San Francisco’s Straight Theater and the William Westerfeld House, which got its “Russian Embassy” nickname in the 1920’s when it was occupied by a group of Czarist Russians who ran a night club out of it. The house later became a center of acid test hippie culture, mystic experimentation, and rock and roll, the magick of which becomes projected through the film’s imagery. Invocation of My Demon Brother stars, among others, Lenore Kandel, Harvey Bialy, Anton LeVay, and Bobby Beausoleil.

We’ve waited a long time, tried to have him come last year, but he does live in London, which makes it a little more difficult than New York would be. He’s here now, doing a sort of a mini-tour, I guess; three places. We’re fortunate enough to be one of them. By way of just brief background, I want to give you a few points that I picked up today at the press conference, that I didn’t know before. That is, he sort of was spawned in Hollywood, as it were, with the big studios, and had quite a bit of experience there, soaking up that flavor, which you might keep in mind when looking at his films. After I knew it, I tried to think back over them, and I’ll look at them again tonight with that in my mind. Apparently, a remarkable grandmother who loved it and took him there … And from there, went on out and began making films at a very early age, and eventually wound up in England, where he is now in London. He’s been there for the last seven or eight years, and is now back here for a tour, for the first time in a number of years.
