Jul 09INSPIRED BY ANGER
Film is a medium that has always inspired my sense of style. For this reason, I am so excited for this weekend’s screening of The Films of Kenneth Anger at Cinespia. Even better is that he is going to be there in person. I was devastated when I missed him at the Hammer’s “Occult Month” so here’s my chance to redeem myself. Maybe he’ll even induct me into the O.T.O.
These are some of Anger’s images that I found particularly inspiring while digging around for some clips. I think I might have spotted that sequence coat at Balmain and that cage on Lady Gaga recently. Maybe I’ll see you there this Sunday? Here’s some info to further entice you:
Beautiful, erotic, phantasmagoric, the films of Kenneth Anger are a national treasure. Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Marianne Faithfull, Anton Lavey, and a parade of other 60s luminaries collaborate on this collection of short films . They range from rich mystcal imagery and visual essays of psychedelic color to insider documentary footage of bikers and a glittering love letter to early black and white film. Please join us under the stars for this very special screening with one of our most legendary filmmakers.
Cinespia should have included the word occult somewhere in that description but I’ll let it slide. Erotic? Satanic? Under the stars in a cemetary? You can count me in!
