Sinopsys The documentary 'Anger
Me', produced by Segnale Digitale and A Few Steps Production, is the
story of the life, literary and motion-picture accomplishments of
Kenneth Anger, a pivotal figure in the history of experimental film.
An innovator and a pioneer, he literally blazed his own trail.
Considered to be one of the major personalities of the 1960's and
1970's underground art scene, Kenneth defined himself as a
"cinematographic magician" and his "cinema" as a ritualistic form.
Anger's films have taken audiences places where only great film
poets can arrive. In 1947 in Los Angeles, while his parents were
away, a young Kenneth took his family's film camera and shot a
short, dramatic film entitled "Fireworks", which is now considered
one of the seminal works of experimental film. Expressive,
imagistic, sexually charged, and made with the help of friends (and
apparently without a script), “Fireworks” brought to the screen an
unconstrained vision and an almost unbelievable candor. Kenneth
Anger also led in the field of visualization of homo-erotic imagery.
"Fireworks" was a film that went beyond maturity and sexual
conscience - an extraordinary event considering that it was made in
1947. Kenneth did not cross over to commercial cinema. Throughout
his career he has been completely devoted to uncompromising
expression. Since the 1960’s, Kenneth Anger's films have been the
subject of many books, film panels and film theory courses. Although
he has never made a commercial music video, he has even been called
the "Godfather of MTV".
