Biography
| Kenneth Anger is a Californian underground avant-garde film-maker and author. Anger's lifelong interest in the occult, particularly in the works of Aleister Crowley, brought him into contact with a variety of groups and individuals. In 1949, Anger directed The Love That Whirls which, according to the 1972 book Experimental Cinema, contained (faked) nudity, and was thus confiscated by the film lab. While most of his films are short subject (ranging from 3.5 minutes to 30 minutes) mood pieces, in 1955 he made a documentary film of the ruins of Crowley's Thelema Abbey in Cefalu, Sicily, which is now considered a lost film. |
