	Kenneth Anger in person: Log Illustrated Ten - A Publication from the Physics Room
		Kenneth Anger knew about other people, and what he knew was often as not framed in delightful vignettes.
		Anger, aware that such a quantity of illicit drugs could bring a hefty stint in prison and incensed, though apparently not one to use physical force, threw the bales and Beausoleil down his steps.

	Kenneth Anger Biography
		The relationship of Crowley and Anger is obviously important: Anger refers to his work frequently, has declared himself to be a disciple of Crowley and a magus, has included images of Crowley in central positions in many of his films (especially Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome and Lucifer Rising).
		Anger fashions a drama of flight and observation with his synchronization of the images to Vivaldi's music, and the visual manipulation of gargoyles seeming to leer at the running figure (a dwarf, so as to increase the differential of scale).
		Anger's statements about a film he was yet to make are of particular interest both in regard to the films he had made, and in regard to aspects of Lucifer Rising which have not been retained in the ilm as we can now see it.

	Magick in Theory and Practice: Ritual Use of Colour in Kenneth Anger's Invocation of My Demon Brother
		For Anger, Lucifer is both the “patron saint of movies”, in his capacity as god of light, and “the rebel angel behind what's happening in the world today whose message is that the key of joy is disobedience” (9).
		Kenneth Anger's films are by no means the first works to fuse magic with artistic expression, although his choice of the cinema as a medium through which to offer his audience an experience structured by occult ritual endows his oeuvre with a startling originality.
		Kenneth Anger's masterful harnessing of such core components of film style as colour, discussed here, and montage, widely discussed elsewhere, and his use of these techniques within a framework of occult ritual provides an opportunity to consider a range of theories pertaining to their influence upon the viewer.

		Anger's compositions are highly formal and painterly, seducing the viewer with the spectacle of the sumptuous costumes and adopting a colour palette of an aggressively theatrical beauty, reminiscent of Powell's Tales of Hoffmann (1951).
		The implied destruction that concluded the earlier film referred to Anger's recurring preoccupation with the end of the Christian Age of Pisces, the violent death of which was necessary to allow for the birth of the Age of Aquarius.

		In fact, "homoerotic" is too genteel a word to describe the film's action, which consists of a 17-year-old Anger as the protagonist who has a dream (or actual run-in) with buff sailor boys who in classic Anger fashion strut their stuff in an exhibitionistic, SandM manner and beat the protagonist silly.

		Kenneth Anger is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating of America’s independent filmmakers.
		Whilst Anger’s films have often been read as paradigmatic examples of different movements within the avant-garde, they are all bound to one another by the singular unity of vision of their now iconic director.
		Given that Landis scrutinises Anger’s life with a level of tact and sensitivity that rivals Anger’s treatment of the subjects of his own Hollywood Babylon books, it is tempting to speculate about the compromises Hutchison might have made in order to secure Anger’s permission to reproduce the images around which her book is centred.

	COSMIC BASEBALL ASSOCIATION- Kenneth Anger
		Kenneth Anger was born in 1930 in Southern California in the land of Hollywood..
		In Anger's films his image of himself, of the self, is as a Magus, never as a film-maker.
		Sitney calls the opening sequence of Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome "one of Anger's finest cinematic achievements." He calls Inauguration a "mythographic film in its aspiration to visualize a plurality of gods" and therefore its theme is consistent with the "primary romantic myth of the fall of a unitary Man" into a multiplicity of fragments.
